“I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon. grow: or, blossom cast: Heb. strike”
Hosea 14:5 (KJV)
Commentary on Hosea 14:5
I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon. God promises to be like dew - gentle, refreshing, life-giving moisture. Result: Israel grows like lily (beauty, rapid growth) and sends roots like Lebanon cedars (depth, stability). This reverses earlier judgment imagery (becoming like morning dew that vanishes, 13:3). Now God is dew bringing life. Only divine presence enables growth. Christ is living water (John 4:10, 7:38) producing spiritual flourishing.
