5 ^aI will be like the dew to Israel;
^bhe shall blossom like the lily;
he shall take root like the trees ^cof Lebanon;
6 his shoots shall spread out;
his beauty shall be ^dlike the olive,
and his fragrance like Lebanon.
7 They shall return and ^edwell beneath my ^{▼▼Hebrew his} shadow;
they shall flourish like the grain;
they shall blossom like the vine;
their fame shall be like the wine of Lebanon.
8 O ^gEphraim, what have I to do with idols?
It is I who answer and look after you. ^{▼▼Hebrew him}
I am like an evergreen cypress;
ⁱfrom me comes your fruit.
