I will plant cedars in the wilderness,acacias, myrtles, and olive trees.I will set cypresses in the desert,elms and boxwood together,
Instead of the thornbush, a cypress will grow,and instead of the brier, a myrtle will spring up;they will make a name for the LORD,an everlasting sign, never to be destroyed.”
So they proclaimed this message and spread it throughout their towns and in Jerusalem, saying, “Go out to the hill country and bring back branches of olive, wild olive, myrtle, palm, and other leafy trees, to make booths, as it is written.”
I looked out into the night and saw a man riding on a red horse. He was standing among the myrtle trees in the hollow, and behind him were red, sorrel, and white horses.
Then the man standing among the myrtle trees explained, “They are the ones the LORD has sent to patrol the earth.”
