⁵ I am as dew to Israel, he flourisheth as a lily, And he striketh forth his roots as Lebanon.

² Flourishing it doth flourish, and rejoice, Yea, `with' joy and singing, The honour of Lebanon hath been given to it, The beauty of Carmel and Sharon, They -- they see the honour of Jehovah, The majesty of our God.

²⁸ and about clothing why are ye anxious? consider well the lilies of the field; how do they grow? they do not labour, nor do they spin;

² Drop as rain doth My doctrine; Flow as dew doth My sayings; As storms on the tender grass, And as showers on the herb,

¹⁹ My root is open unto the waters, And dew doth lodge on my branch.

¹² The wrath of a king `is' a growl as of a young lion, And as dew on the herb his good-will.

¹⁹ `Thy dead live -- My dead body they rise. Awake and sing, ye dwellers in the dust, For the dew of herbs `is' thy dew, And the land of Rephaim thou causest to fall.

⁶ Those coming in He causeth to take root, Jacob doth blossom, and flourished hath Israel, And they have filled the face of the world `with' increase.

¹⁷ that the Christ may dwell through the faith in your hearts, in love having been rooted and founded,

²⁷ `Consider the lilies, how do they grow? they labour not, nor do they spin, and I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these;

⁷ And the remnant of Jacob hath been in the midst of many peoples, As dew from Jehovah -- as showers on the herb, That waiteth not for man, nor stayeth for the sons of men.

²² Thus said the Lord Jehovah: I have taken of the foliage of the high cedar, And I have set `it', From the top of its tender shoots a tender one I crop, And I -- I have planted `it' on a mountain high and lofty.

²³ In a mountain -- the high place of Israel, I plant it, And it hath borne boughs, and yielded fruit, And become a goodly cedar, And dwelt under it have all birds of every wing, In the shade of its thin shoots they dwell.

²⁴ And known have all trees of the field That I, Jehovah, have made low the high tree, I have set on high the low tree, I have dried up the moist tree, And I have caused the dry tree to flourish, I, Jehovah, have spoken, and have done `it'!'

⁴ And as the light of morning he riseth, A morning sun -- no clouds! By the shining, by the rain, Tender grass of the earth!

³⁰ And it hath continued -- The escaped of the house of Judah That hath been left -- to take root beneath, And hath made fruit upward.

⁶ He cometh down as rain on mown grass, As showers -- sprinkling the earth.

¹⁶ There is a handful of corn in the earth, On the top of mountains, Shake like Lebanon doth its fruit, And they flourish out of the city as the herb of the earth.

⁴ For thus said Jehovah unto me, `I rest, and I look on My settled place, As a clear heat on an herb. As a thick cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.

³ For I pour waters on a thirsty one, And floods on a dry land, I pour My Spirit on thy seed, And My blessing on thine offspring.

⁵ Thy two breasts `are' as two fawns, Twins of a roe, that are feeding among lilies.

¹⁶ My beloved `is' mine, and I `am' his, Who is delighting among the lilies,

¹ As a lily among the thorns,

² So `is' my friend among the daughters!
