Thematic Bible: The stem or trunk


Thematic Bible



Then a shoot will grow from the stump of Jesse,
and a branch from his roots will bear fruit.

No one reflects,
no one has the perception or insight to say,
“I burned half of it in the fire,
I also baked bread on its coals,
I roasted meat and ate.
I will make something detestable with the rest of it,
and I will bow down to a block of wood.”
