The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.

The glory of Lebanon - i:e., the trees which adorned Lebanon; emblem of men eminent in natural gifts, devoting all that is in them to the God of Israel (Hosea 14:5).

The fir tree, the pine ... the box - or, 'the cypress ... ilex, or holm ... cedar' (cf. note, ).

To beautify the place of my sanctuary - Jerusalem ().

I will make the place of my feet glorious - no longer the ark (), "the footstool" of Yahweh (; ; ); but 'the place of His throne, the place of the soles of His feet, where He will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever,' in the new temple ().
