6 His branches will spread out;his beauty will be like the olive tree,and his fragrance like that of Lebanon.
7 They will again live beneath my shadow,they will flourish like a garden;they will blossom like the vine,their fragrance will be like the wine of Lebanon.
8 Ephraim, what do idols have to do with me?It is I who answer and look after you.I am like a green cypress tree;your fruit comes from me.
9 Whoever is wise understands these things.Whoever observes carefully knows them.Truly, the Lord’s ways are right,and the righteous will walk in them,but evildoers will stumble in them.
