Hosea 14:6 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

His branches — His branches which are new sprung out, shall gather strength, and shall multiply in number. The olive — tree — Which retains its verdure all the winter and is rich in fruit; so the true Israel of God shall flourish not in fruitless beauty, but in lovely fruit, even in winter's of affliction and trouble. As Lebanon — The mountain famous for cedars, where also were the trees that afford the frankincense, and many flowers which perfume the air; such shall the spiritual fragrance of the church be to God and man.

Hosea 14:6

6 His branches shall spread,c and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
