And its choice cypress trees;
I will enter its farthest height,
To its fruitful forest.

And grain blighted before it is grown.

Therefore aI will put My hook in your nose
And My bridle in your lips,

And the second year what springs from the same;
Also in the third year sow and reap,
Plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them.

Shall again take root downward,
And bear fruit upward.
