the wicked may grow like weeds, those who do wrong may prosper; yet they will be totally destroyed,

But I am like an olive tree growing in the house of God; I trust in his constant love forever and ever.

Cypress trees will grow where now there are briers; myrtle trees will come up in place of thorns. This will be a sign that will last forever, a reminder of what I, the LORD, have done."

(SEE 65:21)

I will be to the people of Israel like rain in a dry land. They will blossom like flowers; they will be firmly rooted like the trees of Lebanon.

They will be alive with new growth, and beautiful like olive trees. They will be fragrant like the cedars of Lebanon.

The cedars of Lebanon get plenty of rain--- the LORD's own trees, which he planted.

Praise him, hills and mountains, fruit trees and forests;

"And yet, my people, it was for your sake that I totally destroyed the Amorites, who were as tall as cedar trees and as strong as oaks.
