Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Hosea 14:6

_ _ branches — shoots, or suckers.

_ _ beauty ... as the olive — which never loses its verdure. One plant is not enough to express the graces of God’s elect people. The lily depicts its lovely growth; but as it wants duration and firmness, the deeply rooted cedars of Lebanon are added; these, however, are fruitless, therefore the fruitful, peace-bearing, fragrant, ever green olive is added.

_ _ smell as Lebanon — which exhaled from it the fragrance of odoriferous trees and flowers. So Israel’s name shall be in good savor with all (Genesis 27:27; Song of Songs 4:11).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Hosea 14:4-7.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Hosea 14:6

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.
