²⁴ And all the trees of the field shall know that I, the Lord, ^(A)have brought down the high tree and exalted the low tree, dried up the green tree and made the dry tree flourish; ^(B)I, the Lord, have spoken and have done it.”

Israel’s Confession and Comfort

⁷ “The Lord will save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall not become greater than that of Judah.

¹⁰ All the land shall be turned into a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem. ^[a]Jerusalem shall be raised up and ^(A)inhabited in her place from Benjamin’s Gate to the place of the First Gate and the Corner Gate, ^(B)and from the Tower of Hananel to the king’s winepresses.
