Hosea 14:7

HOSEA—NOTE ON Hosea 14:7 they shall flourish like the grain... like the vine... like the wine. Israel again becomes a choice vine, which was her purpose from the beginning (compare Hosea 10:1). The landscape described here is an Eden-like paradise, illustrating covenant renewal (compare Hosea 2:14).
