God promises to plant the cedar of the Gospel Then all the trees of the field will know This phrase sets the stage for a universal acknowledgment of God's sovereignty. The "trees of the field" symbolize nations or peoples, a common metaphor in biblical literature. In Hebrew, the word for "trees" (עֵץ, 'ets) often represents strength and stability. The imagery suggests that all nations, regardless of their power or prominence, will recognize the authority of God. Historically, this reflects the prophetic vision of a time when God's dominion is universally acknowledged, transcending national boundaries and cultural differences. that I the LORD bring down the tall tree and make the low tree grow tall I dry up the green tree and make the dry tree flourish I the LORD have spoken, and I will do it Have brought down the high tree.--Comp, the song of Hannah (1Samuel 2:1-10) and that of the Virgin Mary (Luke 1:52-55).

The thought, which reproduces that of 1 Samuel 2:7, finds an echo in Luke 1:51, 52. Another echo of the words may, perhaps, be traced in the "green tree" and the "dry" of Luke 23:31. Here then, also, as in ch. 16, the utterance which begins with judgment, ends in mercy. Behind the picture of the blind, discrowned king the prophet sees that of the Divine ideal King in the fulness of his majesty and power.
