I will pluck a tender sprig from its topmost shoots, and I will plant it on a high and lofty mountain. 23 I will plant it on the mountain heights of Israel so that it will bear branches; it will yield fruit and become a majestic cedar.

I bring the tall tree down and make the low tree tall. I dry up the green tree and make the withered tree flourish. I, the LORD, have spoken, and I have done it.’”
