NETBible

In just a very short time¹ Lebanon will turn into an orchard, and the orchard will be considered a forest.²

NET Notes

¹tn The Hebrew text phrases this as a rhetorical question, “Is it not yet a little, a short [time]?”

²sn 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 (NICOT), 1:538.
