¹⁹ my roots spread out to the waters,
    with the dew all night on my branches;^(A)

⁸ They shall be like a tree planted by water,
    sending out its roots by the stream.
It shall not fear when heat comes,
    and its leaves shall stay green;
in the year of drought it is not anxious,
    and it does not cease to bear fruit.^(A)

³ They are like trees
    planted by streams of water,
which yield their fruit in its season,
    and their leaves do not wither.
In all that they do, they prosper.^(A)

⁵ I will be like the dew to Israel;
    he shall blossom like the lily;
    he shall strike root like the forests of Lebanon.^[a](A)
6 His shoots shall spread out;
    his beauty shall be like the olive tree
    and his fragrance like that of Lebanon.^(B)
7 They shall again live beneath my^[b] shadow;
    they shall flourish as a garden;^[c]
they shall blossom like the vine;
    their fragrance shall be like the wine of Lebanon.^(C)

¹⁶ Their roots dry up beneath,
    and their branches wither above.^(A)
