"For he will be like a treeplantedby the water,That extendsits rootsby a streamAnd will not fearwhenthe heatcomes;But its leaveswill be green,And it will not be anxiousin a yearof droughtNorceaseto yieldfruit.
My rootis spreadout to the waters,And dewliesall nighton my branch.
"He thrivesbeforethe sun,And his shootsspreadout overhis garden.
He will be like a tree[firmly] plantedby streamsof water,Whichyieldsits fruitin its seasonAnd its leafdoes not wither;And in whateverhe does,he prospers.
He who trustsin his richeswill fall,But the righteouswill flourishlike the [green] leaf.
"And the LORDwill continuallyguideyou, And satisfyyour desirein scorchedplaces,And givestrengthto your bones;And you will be like a wateredgarden,And like a springof waterwhosewatersdo not fail.
To grantthose who mourn[in] Zion,Givingthem a garlandinsteadof ashes,The oilof gladnessinsteadof mourning,The mantleof praiseinsteadof a spiritof fainting.So they will be calledoaksof righteousness,The plantingof the LORD,that He may be glorified.
"For I will certainlyrescueyou, and you will not fallby the sword;but you will haveyour [own] lifeas booty,becauseyou have trustedin Me," declaresthe LORD.'"
Behold,Assyria[was] a cedarin LebanonWith beautifulbranchesand forestshade,And veryhigh,And its topwas amongthe clouds.
"By the riveron its bank,on onesideand on the other,will growall[kinds of] treesfor food.Their leaveswill not witherand their fruitwill not fail.They will bearevery monthbecausetheir waterflowsfrom the sanctuary,and their fruitwill be for foodand their leavesfor healing."
