DWELLING UNDER HIS SHADOW

O Israel, return unto the LORD 
thy God; for thou hast fallen by 
thine iniquity.  Take with you words, 
and turn to the LORD: say 
unto him, Take away all iniquity,
 and receive us graciously: so 
will we render the calves of our 
lips. Asshur shall not save us; 
we will not ride upon horses: 
neither will we say any more to 
the work of our hands, Ye are 
our gods: for in thee the fatherless 
findeth mercy.  I will heal their 
backsliding, I will love them freely: 
for mine anger is turned away from 
him.  I will be as the dew unto 
Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and 
cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
His branches shall spread, and his 
beauty shall be as the olive tree, 
and his smell as Lebanon.  They that 
dwell under his shadow shall return; 
they shall revive as the corn, and 
grow as the vine: the scent thereof 
shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
Hosea 14:1-7
