6 Its branches will spread out like beautiful olive trees,as fragrant as the cedars of Lebanon.
7 My people will again live under my shade.They will flourish like grain and blossom like grapevines.They will be as fragrant as the wines of Lebanon.
8 “O Israel, stay away from idols!I am the one who answers your prayers and cares for you.I am like a tree that is always green;all your fruit comes from me.”
9 Let those who are wise understand these things.Let those with discernment listen carefully.The paths of the lord are true and right,and righteous people live by walking in them.But in those paths sinners stumble and fall.
