their deeds like a spark;
both will burn together,
and no one will put out the fire.
41:1 “Listen to me in silence, you coastlands! 2
Let the nations find renewed strength!
Let them approach and then speak;
let us come together for debate! 3
41:19 I will make cedars, acacias, myrtles, and olive trees grow in the wilderness;
I will make evergreens, firs, and cypresses grow together in the desert.

its evergreens, firs, and cypresses together,
to beautify my palace; 4
I will bestow honor on my throne room. 5
