9Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; whoever is discerning, let him know them. For the ways of the LORD are right, and the righteous walk in them but the rebellious stumble in them.
Focused Passage
Hosea 14:9
Return, Healing, Restored Fruitfulness, and the Way of Wisdom
Hosea 14 moves from a direct call to Israel to return, to a model confession of repentance, to the LORD's promise to heal and love freely, and finally to a wisdom conclusion that distinguishes the righteous from transgressors.
