Daily Meditation
2 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.
Today’s ReadingHosea
Chapter 14
O Israel, return
unto the Lord thy God
1 O Israel, return unto the Lord thy
God;
for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity. 2 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. 3 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.
4 I will heal their
backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him. 5 I
will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his
roots as Lebanon. 6 His branches shall spread, and his
beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon. 7 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. 8 Ephraim shall say, What
have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed
him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found.
9 Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the Lord are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.
