and whose leaves were beautiful and its fruit abundant #– #and on it was food for all, under it the wild animals lived, and in its branches the birds of the sky lived #– #
All the birds of the sky nested in its branches, and all the animals of the field gave birth beneath its boughs; all the great nations lived in its shade.
Wherever people live #– #or wild animals, or birds of the sky #– #he has handed them over to you and made you ruler over them all. You are the head of gold.
that tree is you, Your Majesty. For you have become great and strong: your greatness has grown and even reaches the sky, and your dominion extends to the ends of the earth.
I will plant it on Israel’s high mountain so that it may bear branches, produce fruit, and become a majestic cedar. Birds of every kind will nest under it, taking shelter in the shade of its branches.
