CALVES OF THE LIPS . Hosea 14:2 (AV [Note: Authorized Version.] ‘so will we render the calves of our lips’; RV [Note: Revised Version.] ‘… [as] bullocks [the offering of] our lips’), an obscure passage. A very slight change of the MT [Note: Massoretic Text.] yields the LXX [Note: Septuagint.] and Syr. rendering ‘the fruit of our lips.’
