22Thus says the Lord GOD: I myself will take from the top of the lofty cedar and set it out. From the tip of its young shoots I myself will pluck a tender one, and I myself will plant it on a high and lofty mountain.

23On the high mountain of Israel I will plant it, and it will put forth branches and bear fruit and become a majestic cedar. Under it every bird of every wing will dwell; in the shade of its boughs they will dwell.

24And all the trees of the field shall know that I am Yahweh: I have brought low the high tree, I have raised up the low tree, I have dried up the green tree, and I have made the dry tree flourish. I am Yahweh; I have spoken, and I have done it.
