1:30 For you will be like a tree whose leaves wither,
like an orchard 1 that is unwatered.
2:13 for all the cedars of Lebanon,
that are so high and mighty,
for all the oaks of Bashan; 2
[1:30] 1 tn Or “a garden” (so KJV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV).
[2:13] 2 sn The cedars of Lebanon and oaks of Bashan were well-known for their size and prominence. They make apt symbols here for powerful men who think of themselves as prominent and secure.
