22 This is what the Lord God says: “I will also take a sprig from the lofty top of the cedar and [a]set it out; I will break off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and I will plant it on a (A)high and lofty mountain. 23 On the high mountain of Israel I will plant it, so that it may bring forth branches and bear fruit, and become a stately (B)cedar. And [b]birds of every [c]kind will [d]nest under it; they will [e]nest in the shade of its branches. 24 All the (C)trees of the field will know that I am the Lord; I bring down the high tree, exalt the low tree, dry up the green tree, and make the dry tree (D)flourish. I am the Lord; I have spoken, and I will perform it.”
