21 His best troops[a] will be killed in battle, and the survivors will be scattered in every direction. I, the Lord, have spoken.

22 Someday, I, the Lord,
will cut a tender twig
    from the top of a cedar tree,
then plant it on the peak
    of Israel's tallest mountain,
23 where it will grow
strong branches
    and produce large fruit.
All kinds of birds will find
    shelter under the tree,
and they will rest in the shade
    of its branches.
