TSK · Hosea 14:8

That person sings to others, saying:‘I have sinned and falsified what is right, but I was not punished according to what I deserved.

I will make cedars, acacias, myrtles, and olive trees grow in the wilderness; I will make evergreens, firs, and cypresses grow together in the arid rift valley.

The splendor of Lebanon will come to you, its evergreens, firs, and cypresses together, to beautify my palace; I will bestow honor on my throne room.

Return to the LORD and repent! Say to him:“Completely forgive our iniquity; accept our penitential prayer, that we may offer the praise of our lips as sacrificial bulls.

For we have all received from his fullness one gracious gift after another.

The Vine and the Branches“I am the true vine and my Father is the gardener.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God.

I am able to do all things through the one who strengthens me.

All generous giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or the slightest hint of change.

For the time that has passed was sufficient for you to do what the non-Christians desire. You lived then in debauchery, evil desires, drunkenness, carousing, drinking bouts, and wanton idolatries.
