καὶ γνώσονται πάντα τὰ ξύλα τοῦ πεδίου διότι ἐγὼ κύριος ὁ ταπεινῶν ξύλον ὑψηλὸν καὶ ὑψῶν ξύλον ταπεινὸν καὶ ξηραίνων ξύλον χλωρὸν καὶ ἀναθάλλων ξύλον ξηρόν ἐγὼ κύριος λελάληκα καὶ ποιήσω
And all the trees of the field shall know that I am the Lord, who humbles a high tree and exalts a low tree, who dries up a green tree and makes a dry tree flourish; I, the Lord, have spoken and I will do it.
The oracle closes with a universal lesson in reversal: the Lord alone overturns political height and lowliness and accomplishes what he declares.
