Hosea 14:5

Hosea 14:5. I will be as the dew unto Israel:

"When they come back to me, I will refresh them,-softly, sweetly, efficaciously, abundantly, mysteriously, even as the dew refreshes the thirsty earth."

Hosea 14:5. He shall grow as the lily,-

Your souls shall suddenly spring up. As the daffodil-lily springs up almost in a night, and its golden bells speedily appear, so you, who seem so dead, shall grow up adorned with the golden flowers of God’s delight in you.

Hosea 14:5. And cast forth his roots as Lebanon.

Fickle as you have been, God’s grace will make you stable. You shall have as firm a roothold as a cedar has, and be as fixed as Libanus himself.
