Changes are Coming
29:17In just a very short time37
Lebanon will turn into an orchard,
and the orchard will be considered a forest.38
Footnotes
- 37 The Hebrew text phrases this as a rhetorical question, “Is it not yet a little, a short [time]?”
- 38 The meaning of this verse is debated, but it seems to depict a reversal in fortunes. The mighty forest of Lebanon (symbolic of the proud and powerful, see 2:13; 10:34) will be changed into a common orchard, while the common orchard (symbolic of the oppressed and lowly) will grow into a great forest. See J. N. Oswalt, Isaiah (), 1:.
