Divine promise of healing

I will heal their faithlessness;
                I will love them freely,
        for my anger has turned from them.
I will be like the dew to Israel;
        he will blossom like the lily;
        he will cast out his roots like the forests of Lebanon.[a]
His branches will spread out;
        his beauty will be like the olive tree,
        and his fragrance like that of Lebanon.
