⁸ But as for me, I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God: I trust in the lovingkindness of God for ever and ever.

¹⁶ Jehovah called thy name, A green olive-tree, fair with goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.

⁵ But I have trusted in thy lovingkindness; My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

¹² The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree: He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

¹³ They are planted in the house of Jehovah; They shall flourish in the courts of our God.

¹⁴ They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; They shall be full of sap and green:

³ And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also doth not wither; And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

³ Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine, In the innermost parts of thy house; Thy children like olive plants, Round about thy table.

⁶ His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive-tree, and his smell as Lebanon.

⁷ They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive `as' the grain, and blossom as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.

⁸ Ephraim `shall say', What have I to do any more with idols? I have answered, and will regard him: I am like a green fir-tree; from me is thy fruit found.

²⁴ For if thou wast cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and wast grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree; how much more shall these, which are the natural `branches', be grafted into their own olive tree?

¹⁸ Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, Upon them that hope in his lovingkindness;

¹¹ Jehovah taketh pleasure in them that fear him, In those that hope in his lovingkindness.
