22 Thus says the Lord:
I myself will break off a tender shoot
from the highest branch of a tall cedar
and plant it on a high and lofty mountain.
23 On the highest mountain in Israel I will plant it
so that it may put forth branches and bear fruit
and become a majestic cedar.
Birds of every kind will live beneath it;
in the shelter of its branches
winged creatures of every kind will dwell.
24 All the trees of the countryside will know
that I am the Lord.
I will bring low the tall tree
and raise high the lowly tree.
I cause the green tree to wither
and make the shriveled tree bear fruit.
I, the Lord, have spoken;
so will I do.
The prophecy was fulfilled when the Son of God became incarnate for our sake and our salvation, and fulfilled furthermore when the Holy Spirit came upon the Apostles in Jerusalem on Pentecost, finally proclaiming the coming of the Kingdom of God through the Church.
Glory be to The Father, and to The Son, and to The Holy Spirit.
