17:22 “‘This is what the sovereign Lord says:
“‘I will take a sprig 4 from the lofty top of the cedar and plant it. 5
I will pluck from the top one of its tender twigs;
I myself will plant it on a high and lofty mountain.
1 tc The MT reads “you”; many Hebrew
2 tn Heb “their flesh.”
3 tn Heb “heart of flesh.”
