What does Ezekiel 17:22 mean?

This is what the Lord God says: I'm going to take a small branch from the very top of a tall cedar and plant it myself. I'll put it on a high mountain. Ezekiel 17:22 - Modern Text Bible

(God is promising to start something new and hopeful—a new beginning from the royal line, symbolized by the cedar branch.)
