但种下去以后，它长起来，比各样的菜都大，又长出大枝，以致天上的飞鸟可以在它的荫下筑巢。”

但种在地里，却能长得比各样蔬菜都大，有粗大的枝条，可以让飞鸟在它的树荫中筑巢。”

种下以后，生长起来，却比一切蔬菜都大，长出大枝子，甚至天空的飞鸟都可以在它的荫下搭窝。”

可是被种下去以后，它就长起来，长得比所有蔬菜更大，并且长出大枝子，以致天空的飞鸟能在它的荫下搭窝。”

但種上以後，就長起來，比各樣的菜都大，又長出大枝來，甚至天上的飛鳥可以宿在它的蔭下。」

但種在地裡，卻能長得比各樣蔬菜都大，有粗大的枝條，可以讓飛鳥在它的樹蔭中築巢。」

種下以後，生長起來，卻比一切蔬菜都大，長出大枝子，甚至天空的飛鳥都可以在它的蔭下搭窩。”

但種上了以後就發生，成了比任何蔬菜都大，又長出大枝子來，甚至空中的飛鳥也能棲息在它的陰影之下。』

可是被種下去以後，它就長起來，長得比所有蔬菜更大，並且長出大枝子，以致天空的飛鳥能在它的蔭下搭窩。」

既播而長、大於諸蔬、且發巨枝、飛鳥棲其蔭、○

既播即發、大於諸蔬、生枝而長、飛鳥棲其蔭、○

既種即發、大於百蔬、且生大枝、飛鳥可棲其蔭下、

及其既長、則大于諸蔬、暢茂條達、即天上之飛鳥、亦得棲憩其蔭。』

Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds can perch in its shade.”

But when you plant the seed, it grows. It becomes the largest of all garden plants. Its branches are so big that birds can rest in its shade.”

but it becomes the largest of all garden plants; it grows long branches, and birds can make nests in its shade.”

The tree you saw, which grew large and strong, whose top reached to the sky and was visible to the whole earth,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—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.

You cleared a place for it; it took root and filled the land.The mountains were covered by its shade, and the mighty cedars with its branches.It sent out sprouts toward the Sea and shoots toward the River.

They will not harm or destroy each other on my entire holy mountain, for the land will be as full of the knowledge of the LORD as the sea is filled with water.

Think of Assyria, a cedar in Lebanon, with beautiful branches and shady foliage and of lofty height. Its top was among the clouds.The waters caused it to grow; the underground springs made it tall, directing their rivers all around the place where the tree was planted and sending their channels to all the trees of the field.Therefore the cedar became greater in height than all the trees of the field. Its branches multiplied, and its boughs grew long as it spread them out because of the abundant water.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.It was beautiful in its size, in the length of its limbs, for its roots extended to abundant water.The cedars in God’s garden could not eclipse it; the pine trees couldn’t compare with its branches, nor could the plane trees match its boughs. No tree in the garden of God could compare with it in beauty.I made it beautiful with its many limbs, and all the trees of Eden, which were in God’s garden, envied it.“‘ Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says: Since it towered high in stature and set its top among the clouds, and it grew proud on account of its height,

In the visions of my mind as I was lying in bed, I saw this: There was a tree in the middle of the earth, and it was very tall.The tree grew large and strong; its top reached to the sky, and it was visible to the ends of the earth.Its leaves were beautiful, its fruit was abundant, and on it was food for all. Wild animals found shelter under it, the birds of the sky lived in its branches, and every creature was fed from it.“ As I was lying in my bed, I also saw in the visions of my mind a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven.He called out loudly: Cut down the tree and chop off its branches; strip off its leaves and scatter its fruit. Let the animals flee from under it, and the birds from its branches.

The path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, shining brighter and brighter until midday.

The one who lives under the protection of the Most High dwells in the shadow of the Almighty.

Each will be like a shelter from the wind, a refuge from the rain, like flowing streams in a dry land and the shade of a massive rock in an arid land.

The LORD’s anointed, the breath of our life, was captured in their traps. We had said about him,“ We will live under his protection among the nations.”

Like an apricot tree among the trees of the forest, so is my love among the young men. I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste.
