firs will grow in place of nettles;

they will be a monument to the Lord,

a permanent reminder that will remain.

60:13 The splendor of Lebanon will come to you,

its evergreens, firs, and cypresses together,

to beautify my palace;

I will bestow honor on my throne room.

tn Or, more literally, “a permanent sign that will not be cut off.”

tn Or “holy place, sanctuary.”

tn Heb “the place of my feet.” See Ezek 43:7, where the Lord’s throne is called the “place of the soles of my feet.”
