โฮเชยา 14

1Israel, return to Yahweh your God, 2Take with you words and return to Yahweh. The phrase so that we may offer to you the fruit of our lips represents the interpretation of some ancient versions. The Hebrew text has so that we may offer bulls, our lips . Some modern versions interpret this to mean, so that we may offer to you bulls, which we have promised to do . 3Assyria will not save us; 4“I will heal their turning away; 5I will be like the dew to Israel; 6His branches will spread out; 7The people who live in his shade will return; 8Ephraim, what more have I to do with idols? 9Who is wise that he may understand these things?
