His branches shall [a]spread;
(A)His beauty shall be like an olive tree,
And (B)his fragrance like Lebanon.
(C)Those who dwell under his shadow shall return;
They shall be revived like grain,
And [b]grow like a vine.
Their [c]scent shall be like the wine of Lebanon.

“Ephraim shall say, ‘What have I to do anymore with idols?’
I have heard and observed him.
I am like a green cypress tree;
(D)Your fruit is found in Me.”
