Hoshea 14:1-6 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

1. [2] O Yisroel, return unto Hashem Eloheicha; for thy downfall hast been thine avon (iniquity).

2. [3] Take devarim (words) with you, and turn to Hashem; say unto Him, Take away avon (iniquity), and receive us graciously that we may render the sacrifices of our lips.[MJ 13:15]

3. [4] Assyria shall not save us; we will not ride upon susim; neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are Eloheinu; for in Thee the yatom (orphan) findeth compassion.

4. [5] I will heal their meshuvah (backsliding); I will love them freely; for Mine anger is turned away from him.

5. [6] I will be as the tal (dew) unto Yisroel: he shall blossom as the lily, and strike root as Levanon.

6. [7] His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the zayit (olive tree), and his hod (splendor) as Levanon.
