And the desert places of the Jordan shall blossom and rejoice; the glory of Lebanon has been given to it, and the honor of Carmel; and my people shall see the glory of the Lord, and the majesty of God.

I will plant in the dry land the cedar and box, the myrtle and cypress, and white poplar;

that they may see, and know, and perceive, and understand together, that the hand of the Lord has done these [works], and the Holy One of Israel has displayed [them].

And instead of the bramble shall come up the cypress, and instead of the nettle shall come up the myrtle; and the Lord shall be for a name, and for an everlasting sign, and shall not fail.

His branches shall spread, and he shall be as a fruitful olive, and his smell shall be as [the smell] of Lebanon.

They shall return, and dwell under his shadow: they shall live and be satisfied with grain, and he shall flower like a vine. His memorial shall be to Ephraim as the wine of Lebanon.

Blessed [be] the Lord God of our fathers, who has put it thus into the heart of the king, to glorify the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem;

Thus says the Lord: Heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool; what kind of a house will you build for Me? And of what kind [is to be] the place of My rest?

And David stood in the midst of the assembly, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people. It was in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and a place for the feet of our Lord, and I prepared [materials] suitable for the building;

Thanksgiving and beauty are before Him; holiness and majesty are in His sanctuary.

Let us enter into His tabernacles: let us worship at His footstool.
