17  Is it not yet a very little while

until Lebanon shall be ^fturned into a fruitful field,

and the fruitful field shall be regarded as a forest?

15  until ^sthe Spirit is poured upon us from on high,

and the wilderness ^tbecomes a fruitful field,

and the fruitful field is deemed a forest.

1  ^uThe wilderness and the dry land shall be glad;

the desert shall rejoice and blossom like the crocus;

2  it shall blossom abundantly

and rejoice with joy and singing.

The glory of ^vLebanon shall be given to it,

the majesty of Carmel and Sharon.

^wThey shall see the glory of the Lord,

the majesty of our God.

19  ^tI will put in the wilderness the cedar,

the acacia, the myrtle, and the olive.

I will set in the desert the ^ucypress,

the plane and the pine together,
