The Lord says,

‘My people turned away from me, but I will forgive them.
I will love them very much.
I will not be angry with them any more.
I will bless Israel's people, like rain that falls on dry ground.
They will grow like beautiful flowers.
They will have strong roots, like the great trees in Lebanon.
They will grow like a tree that makes new branches.
They will be beautiful like olive trees.
They will have a sweet smell, like the forests in Lebanon.

His splendor will be like an olive tree,(I)
