Hosea 14

1 Ισραηλ, επιστρεψον προς Κυριον τον Θεον σου, διοτι επεσας δια της ανομιας σου.

2 Λαβετε μεθ' εαυτων λογους και επιστρεψατε προς τον Κυριον· ειπατε προς αυτον, Αφαιρεσον πασαν ανομιαν ημων και δεχθητι ημας ευμενως, και θελομεν αποδωσει τον καρπον των χειλεων ημων·

3 ο Ασσουρ δεν θελει μας σωσει· δεν θελομεν αναβη εφ' ιππους· και δεν θελομεν ειπει πλεον προς το εργον των χειρων ημων, Εισθε θεοι ημων· διοτι εν σοι θελει ελεηθη ο ορφανος.

4 Θελω ιατρευσει την αποστασιαν αυτων, θελω αγαπησει αυτους εγκαρδιως· διοτι ο θυμος μου απεστραφη απ' αυτου.

5 Θελω εισθαι ως δροσος εις τον Ισραηλ· ως κρινον θελει ανθησει και θελει εκτεινει τας ριζας αυτου ως δενδρον του Λιβανου.

6 Οι κλαδοι αυτου θελουσιν εξαπλωθη και η δοξα αυτου θελει εισθαι ως ελαιας και η οσμη αυτου ως του Λιβανου.

7 Θελουσιν επιστρεψει και καθησει υπο την σκιαν αυτου· θελουσιν αναζησει ως σιτος και ανθησει ως αμπελος· η μνημη αυτου θελει εισθαι ως οινος Λιβανου.

8 Ο Εφραιμ θελει ειπει, Τι εχω να καμω πλεον μετα των ειδωλων; Εγω ηκουσα και θελω παραφυλαξει αυτον· εγω ειμαι εις αυτον ως ελατη ευθαλης· απ' εμου ο καρπος σου θελει προελθει.

9 Τις ειναι σοφος και θελει εννοησει ταυτα, συνετος και θελει γνωρισει αυτα; διοτι ευθειαι ειναι αι οδοι του Κυριου, και οι δικαιοι θελουσι περιπατει εν αυταις· οι δε παραβαται θελουσι πεσει εν αυταις.

278. Which are the prayers of the saints. This symbolizes thoughts that are matters of faith springing from affections that are matters of charity in people who worship the Lord in accord with spiritual goods and truths.

Prayers mean matters having to do with faith in people who pour forth prayers, and at the same time matters having do to with charity, since without these, prayers are not prayers but empty sounds.

That saints symbolize people who are impelled by spiritual goods and truths may be seen in no. 173 above.

Burnings of incense are called the prayers of the saints because fragrant aromas correspond to affections for goodness and truth. That is why reference is made so often in the Word to a pleasing aroma or a restful aroma to Jehovah, as in Exodus 29:18, 25, 41, Leviticus 1:9, 13, 17; 2:2, 9, 12; 3:5; 4:31; 6:15, 21; 8:28; 23:13, 18; 26:31, Numbers 28:6, 8, 13; 15:3; 29:2, 6, 8, 13, 36, Ezekiel 20:41, Hosea 14:7.

Prayers called incense have the same symbolic meaning in the following verses in the book of Revelation:

(An angel, standing at the altar,) having a golden censer..., was given much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar... And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel's hand. (Revelation 8:3-4)

And in the book of Psalms:

Give ear to my voice... My prayers are accepted as incense before You... (Psalms 141:1-2)
