Isaiah 55:13

Instead of thorns,
[large majestic] cypress trees shall grow,
and instead of nettles (some kind of desert plant; from the verb to burn),
myrtle (Hebr. hadas) shall grow. [Bridal wreaths of myrtle and the tree are associated with weddings and joy.]
It shall be a memorial to the Lord (Yahweh),
an everlasting sign that shall not be cut down.
