Isaiah 41:19
The box tree - Trees which are both useful and pleasant to the eye, and giving a good shadow to the traveller. But what particular trees these Hebrew words signify, is not certainly known.
17 “The poor and needy seek water, but there is none,
Their tongues fail for thirst.
I, the Lord, will hear them;
I, the God of Israel, will not aforsake them.
Their tongues fail for thirst.
I, the Lord, will hear them;
I, the God of Israel, will not aforsake them.
18 I will open arivers in desolate heights,
And fountains in the midst of the valleys;
I will make the bwilderness a pool of water,
And the dry land springs of water.
And fountains in the midst of the valleys;
I will make the bwilderness a pool of water,
And the dry land springs of water.
19 I will plant in the wilderness the cedar and the acacia tree,
The myrtle and the oil tree;
I will set in the adesert the cypress tree and the pine
And the box tree together,
The myrtle and the oil tree;
I will set in the adesert the cypress tree and the pine
And the box tree together,
20 aThat they may see and know,
And consider and understand together,
That the hand of the Lord has done this,
And the Holy One of Israel has created it.
And consider and understand together,
That the hand of the Lord has done this,
And the Holy One of Israel has created it.
