TSK · Hosea 14:5

My teaching will drop like the rain, my sayings will drip like the dew, as rain drops upon the grass, and showers upon new growth.

Those who remain in Judah will take root in the ground and bear fruit.

He will descend like rain on the mown grass, like showers that drench the earth.

Planted in the LORD’s house, they grow in the courts of our God.

The Lily among the Thorns and the Apple Tree in the ForestThe Beloved to Her Lover: I am a meadow flower from Sharon, a lily from the valleys.

Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of the gazelle grazing among the lilies.

For this is what the LORD has told me:“I will wait and watch from my place, like scorching heat produced by the sunlight, like a cloud of mist in the heat of harvest.”

The time is coming when Jacob will take root; Israel will blossom and grow branches. The produce will fill the surface of the world.

For I will pour water on the parched ground and cause streams to flow on the dry land. I will pour my Spirit on your offspring and my blessing on your children.

I am the one who gives them reason to celebrate. Complete prosperity is available both to those who are far away and those who are nearby,” says the LORD,“and I will heal them.

I will take delight in doing good to them. I will faithfully and wholeheartedly plant them firmly in the land.’

So let us search for him! Let us seek to know the LORD! He will come to our rescue as certainly as the appearance of the dawn, as certainly as the winter rain comes, as certainly as the spring rain that waters the land.”

Who is a God like you? Who forgives sin and pardons the rebellion of those who remain among his people? Who does not stay angry forever, but delights in showing loyal love?

Consider how the flowers grow; they do not work or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these!
