Instead of the thornbushes, the cypress will grow; and instead of the brier, the myrtle tree will grow
The words "thornbushes" and "brier" refer to species of plants that have sharp thorns growing on them. The words "cypress" and "myrtle" refer to species of evergreen trees. The thorny plants symbolize desolation, while the evergreens symbolize life and prosperity. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown)

AT: "that will never end" or "that will last forever" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
