22. This is what the Sovereign Lord says:“I will take the top of a tall cedarand break off a tender sprout;I will plant it on a high mountain,
23. on Israel's highest mountain.It will grow branches and bear seedand become a magnificent cedar.Birds of every kind will live thereand find shelter in its shade.
24. All the trees in the land will knowthat I am the Lord.I cut down the tall treesand make the small trees grow tall.I wither up the green treesand make the dry trees become green.I, the Lord, have spoken. I will do what I have said I would do.”
