⁵
I shall be like the dew to Israel;
He will blossom like the lily,
And he will take root like the cedars of Lebanon.
⁶ 
His shoots will sprout,
And his beauty will be like the olive tree
And his fragrance like the cedars of Lebanon.
⁷
Those who live in his shadow
Will again raise grain,
And they will blossom like the vine.
His renown will be like the wine of Lebanon.
