20 I will aspread My net over him, and he shall be taken in My snare. I will bring him to Babylon and btry him there for the treason which he committed against Me.
21 aAll his fugitives with all his troops shall fall by the sword, and those who remain shall be bscattered to every wind; and you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken.”
Israel Exalted at Last
22 Thus says the Lord God: “I will take also one of the highest abranches of the high cedar and set it out. I will crop off from the topmost of its young twigs ba tender one, and will cplant it on a high and prominent mountain.
23 aOn the mountain height of Israel I will plant it; and it will bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a majestic cedar. bUnder it will dwell birds of every sort; in the shadow of its branches they will dwell.
24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I, the Lord, ahave brought down the high tree and exalted the low tree, dried up the green tree and made the dry tree flourish; bI, the Lord, have spoken and have done it.”
