I will be as the dew to Israel;
    he shall blossom as the lily,
    he shall strike root as the poplar;[a]
his shoots shall spread out;
    his beauty shall be like the olive,
    and his fragrance like Lebanon.
They shall return and dwell beneath my[b] shadow,
    they shall flourish as a garden;[c]
they shall blossom as the vine,
    their fragrance shall be like the wine of Lebanon.
