The tree-tip part of the parable explained

17:22 The tree-tip part of the parable explained

22 The master Yahweh says this, ‘So I myself will take away the highest part of the cedar tree, and I’ll plant it away from its tender branches. I’ll break it off, and I myself will plant it on a very high mountain. 23 I’ll plant it on Yisrael’s (Israel’s) highest mountain so it’ll grow branches and produce fruit, and it’ll become a majestic cedar so that every winged bird will live under it. They’ll nest in the shade of its branches, 24 then all the trees in the countryside will know that I am Yahweh. I bring down the high trees and I raise up the low trees. I wither the watered tree and I cause the wilted tree to bloom. I am Yahweh. I’ve declared that that will happen, and I will do it.’ ”
