6. I will be like dew for Israel. He will blossom like a lily, and thrust out his roots like Lebanon.
7. His tender shoots will spread out. His beauty will be like an olive tree and his fragrance will be like Lebanon.
8. Those dwelling in his shadow will return. They will grow grain and bud like a vine. His renown will be like the wine of Lebanon.
9. Ephraim: “What more are idols to me? I have responded and observed Him. I will be like a luxuriant cypress tree. From me will be found Your fruit.”
