Exhortation to repentance, and promise of forgiveness - Hosea 14

1 - convert, O Israel, to the Lord thy God; Because for your sins you have fallen.
2 - take with you words, and I have converted you unto the Lord; Say to him: Take away all iniquity, and accept what is good; And we will offer as steers the sacrifices of our lips.
3 - it will not save us the Assiria, we will not mount on horses, and the work of our hands shall no longer say: Thou art our God; Because by you the orphan reaches mercy.
4 - i will heal your infidelity, I will willingly love you; Because my wrath has parted from them.
5 - i will be to Israel as the dew. It will bloom like the lily and cast its roots like Lebanon.
6 - they will extend their branches, and their glory shall be like that of the olive tree, and their fragrance as that of Lebanon.
7 - they will return those who dwell beneath their shadow; will be vivified as wheat, and bloom as the vide; Your memory will be like the wine of Lebanon.
8 - ephraim will say: What else do I have with idols? I have heard him, and I will take care of him; I am like the green beech; Of me is found your fruit.
9 - who is wise to understand these things? Who's prudent, so you know? For the ways of the Lord are upright, and the righteous will walk in them, but the transgressors will fall.

Prediction of the birth of the Messiah
1 - Now assemble in troops, O daughter of troops; he will surround himself with us; they shall smite with the rod in the face of the Judge of Israel.
2 And thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, out of thee shall come forth that shall rule in Israel, and whose goings forth are of old, from everlasting.
3 - And he shall deliver them up to the time when she that hath travailed she brought forth; then the remnant of his brethren shall return to the children of Israel.

The institution of the kingdom of the Messiah
4 - And he shall stand and feed the people in the strength of the LORD, in the excellency of the name of the LORD their God; and they shall abide, because now he shall be exalted to the ends of the earth.
5 - And this shall be our peace; when Assyria comes to our land, and when we step into our palaces, we will raise against her seven shepherds and eight princes among men.
6 - These shall consume the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod at their inlets. So he will deliver us from Assyria, when he comes to our land, and when he traces our terms.
7 And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many peoples, as dew from the LORD, as a drizzle upon the grass, which waiteth not for man, neither doth wait for the sons of men.
8 - And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles among many peoples, as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a lion among the flocks of sheep: and when he passeth, he shall tread and dash, them free.
9 - Thine hand shall be exalted above thine adversaries; and all thy enemies shall be cut off.
10 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and will destroy thy chariots.
11 - And I will destroy the cities of thy land, and will destroy all thy fortresses;
12 - And I will cut off the wizards out of thy hand; and thou shalt have no diviner;
13 - And I will cut off thy graven images and thy statues out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no longer bow down to the work of thy hands.
14 - And I will pluck thy groves out of the midst of thee; and I will destroy your cities.
15 - And I will avenge the Gentiles that hear not in anger and wrath.
