Hosea 14:7

7 People will reside again ^{▼▼tn Hosea uses the similar-sounding terms יָשֻׁבוּ יֹשְׁבֵי (yashuvu yosheve, “the dwellers will return”) to create a wordplay between the roots שׁוּב (shuv, “to return”) and יָשַׁב (yashav, “to dwell; to reside”).} in his shade;
they will plant and harvest grain in abundance. ^{▼▼tn Heb “they will cause the grain to live” or “they will revive the grain.” Some English versions treat this as a comparison: “they shall revive as the corn,” (KJV) and “will flourish like the grain” (NIV).}
They will blossom like a vine,
and his fame will be like the wine from Lebanon.
