5. I will be as the dew unto Israel; he shall blossom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
6. His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive-tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
7. They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the grain, and blossom as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
8. Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have answered, and will regard him: I am like a green fir-tree; from me is thy fruit found.
9. Who is wise, that he may understand these things? prudent, that he may know them? for the ways of Jehovah are right, and the just shall walk in them; but transgressors shall fall therein.
