21 Tous les fuyards de toutes ses troupes tomberont par l’épée, et ceux qui resteront seront dispersés à tous les vents. Et vous saurez que moi, l’Éternel, j’ai parlé.

22 Ainsi parle le Seigneur, l’Éternel: J’enlèverai, moi, la cime d’un grand cèdre, et je la placerai; j’arracherai du sommet de ses branches un tendre rameau, et je le planterai sur une montagne haute et élevée.

23 Je le planterai sur une haute montagne d’Israël; il produira des branches et portera du fruit, il deviendra un cèdre magnifique. Les oiseaux de toute espèce reposeront sous lui, tout ce qui a des ailes reposera sous l’ombre de ses rameaux.

24 Et tous les arbres des champs sauront que moi, l’Éternel, j’ai abaissé l’arbre qui s’élevait et élevé l’arbre qui était abaissé, que j’ai desséché l’arbre vert et fait verdir l’arbre sec. Moi, l’Éternel, j’ai parlé, et j’agirai.
