This is what the Lord God says:
I will take a sprig from the lofty top of the cedar and plant it. I will pluck a tender sprig
from its topmost shoots, and I will plant it
on a high towering mountain.
I will plant it on Israel’s high mountain
so that it may bear branches, produce fruit,
and become a majestic cedar. Birds of every kind will nest under it, taking shelter in the shade of its branches.
Then all the trees of the field will know
that I am Yahweh. I bring down the tall tree,
and make the low tree tall. I cause the green tree to wither and make the withered tree thrive.
I, Yahweh, have spoken
and I will do it.
