whoever is discerning,
let him know them;
for the ways of the LORD are right,
and the upright walk in them,
but transgressors stumble in them."
Hosea 14:9

It is I who answer and look after you. I am like an evergreen cypress, from me comes your fruit. (Hosea 14:8)
In distress you called, and I delivered you; I answered you in the secret place; I tested you (Psalm 81:7). I relieved your shoulder of the burden; your hands were freed from the basket (Psalm 81:6).
I will heal their faithlessness; I will love them freely, for my anger has turned from them (Hosea 14:4).
