1Vuelve, oh Israel, a Jehová tu Dios; porque por tu pecado has caído.
2Llevad con vosotros palabras de súplica, y volved a Jehová, y decidle: Quita toda iniquidad, y acepta el bien, y te ofreceremos la ofrenda de nuestros labios.
3No nos librará el asirio; no montaremos en caballos, ni nunca más diremos a la obra de nuestras manos: Dioses nuestros; porque en ti el huérfano alcanzará misericordia.
4Yo sanaré su rebelión, los amaré de pura gracia; porque mi ira se apartó de ellos.
5Yo seré a Israel como rocío; él florecerá como lirio, y extenderá sus raíces como el Líbano.
6Se extenderán sus ramas, y será su gloria como la del olivo, y perfumará como el Líbano.
7Volverán y se sentarán bajo su sombra; serán vivificados como trigo, y florecerán como la vid; su olor será como de vino del Líbano.
8Efraín dirá: ¿Qué más tendré ya con los ídolos? Yo lo oiré, y miraré; yo seré a él como la haya verde; de mí será hallado tu fruto.
9¿Quién es sabio para que entienda esto, y prudente para que lo sepa? Porque los caminos de Jehová son rectos, y los justos andarán por ellos; mas los rebeldes caerán en ellos.

14:2-3 Hosea composed a model prayer of confession to help his people return to the Lord. God’s prophets not only identified with God in his outrage over Israel’s rebellion; they also identified with the people in their broken condition (see also Dan 9:4-19). • Forgive all our sins: The Israelites should throw themselves upon God’s mercy and grace, freely acknowledging their many sins. • so that we may offer you our praises: Israel’s inclination was to offer animal sacrifices for sin, but the Lord had made it clear that sacrifices were not the solution (see Hos 6:6). Israel should offer God genuine repentance.

14:3 The Israelites must renounce their dependence upon idols, foreign alliances, and their own military strength. Although they were God’s own children (11:1), they made themselves orphans through their rebellion. When they sincerely and completely repented, they could again find mercy.

14:5 like a refreshing dew: In the semi-desert climate of Israel, dew was an important source of life-giving moisture (Gen 27:28; Deut 33:28). • it will send roots deep: When Israel lived in faithfulness to their covenant with the Lord, they would be solid and stable like the majestic cedars in Lebanon (Ps 92:12).
