¹ Herrens ord som kom til Joel, Petuels sønn:

⁵ I will be like the dew to Israel. He will blossom like the lily, and send down his roots like Lebanon.

⁶ His branches will spread, and his beauty will be like the olive tree, and his fragrance like Lebanon.

⁷ Men will dwell in his shade. They will revive like the grain, and blossom like the vine. Their fragrance will be like the wine of Lebanon.
