In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it: and it shall bring forth boughs, and bearfruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell .
Ephraim is smitten , their root is dried up , they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth , yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.
