A reading from the book of the prophet Hosea (14:4-9) Israel, you have rejected me, but my anger is gone; I will heal you and love you without limit. I will be like the dew — then you will blossom like lilies and have roots like a tree. Your branches will spread with the beauty of an olive tree and with the aroma of the forest. You will rest in my shade, and your grain will grow. You will blossom like a vineyard. I will answer your prayers and take care of you. I am that glorious tree, the source of your fruit. If you are wise, you will know and understand what I mean. I am the Lord, and I lead you along the right path. The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
