17 22 Thus says Yahweh GOD: "I myself will take a sprig from the lofty top of the cedar, and will set it out; I will break off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and I myself will plant it upon a high and lofty mountain; 17 23 on the mountain height of Israel will I plant it, that it may bring forth boughs and bear fruit, and become a noble cedar; and under it will dwell all kinds of beasts; in the shade of its branches birds of every sort will nest. 17 24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I Yahweh bring low the high tree, and make high the low tree, dry up the green tree, and make the dry tree flourish. I Yahweh have spoken, and I will do it."
