⁶ His branches will spread out;
        his beauty will be like the olive tree,
        and his fragrance like that of Lebanon.
⁷ They will again live beneath my shadow,
        they will flourish like a garden;
    they will blossom like the vine,
        their fragrance will be like the wine of Lebanon.
⁸ Ephraim, what do idols have to do with me?
        It is I who answer and look after you.
    I am like a green cypress tree;
        your fruit comes from me.
