I will be like the dew to Israel;
    he will blossom like the lily plant,
and he will strike his roots like the trees of Lebanon.
    His new plant shoots will spread out;
his splendor will be like the olive tree,
    and his scent like the trees of Lebanon.

    they will grow grain
and they will blossom like the plant vine;
    his fame will be like the wine of Lebanon.
