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.”
