14:5I will be like the dew to Israel;
he will blossom like a lily,
he will send down his roots like a cedar of11 Lebanon.
14:6His young shoots will grow;
his splendor will be like an olive tree,
his fragrance like a cedar of Lebanon.
14:7People will reside again12 in his shade;
they will plant and harvest grain in abundance.13
They will blossom like a vine,
and his fame will be like the wine from Lebanon.
Footnotes
- 11 Heb “like Lebanon” (so ; also in the following verse). The phrase “a cedar of” does not appear in the Hebrew text; it is supplied in translation for clarity. Cf. “the trees of Lebanon”; “the forests of Lebanon.”
- 12 Hosea uses the similar-sounding terms יָשֻׁבוּ יֹשְׁבֵי (yashuvu yoshve, “the dwellers will return”) to create a wordplay between the roots שׁוּב (shuv, “to return”) and יָשַׁב (yashav, “to dwell; to reside”).
- 13 Heb “they will cause the grain to live” or “they will revive the grain.” Some English versions treat this as a comparison: “they shall revive as the corn” (); “will flourish like the grain” ().
