Hosea 14:7

‘Those who dwell under his shadow will return, they will revive as the grain, and blossom as the vine, their taste (name/memorial) will be as the wine of Lebanon.'

And those who dwell under the shadow of the new Israel's spreading branches will return to YHWH, (or return from exile, compare Hosea 11:11), and there they will revive like the grain (recalling the sudden coming to life of the greenery when the rains fell after the hot season, a transformation remarkable in its suddenness), and blossom as the vine (the blossoming of the vine promising a good harvest was always greeted with rapture). The picture is one of abundant fruitfulness and joy. ‘Their taste (literally ‘name/memorial'; compare Hosea 12:5) will be as the wine of Lebanon'. No one ever forgot the taste of Lebanese wine, and the taste of Israel will be as sumptuous.

Some see ‘under his shadow' as referring to YHWH (compare Song of Solomon 2:3), but ‘his' in context clearly refers to Israel, and the distinction between Israel as a nation and the Israelites as a people was already contained in the picture found in Chapter s 1-2 of Israel as the mother and the Israelites as her children. The central idea is of all returning to the covenant into which Israel as a whole have now re-entered.
