4. Much water made the tree grow.The deep springs of water made the tree tall.Rivers flowedaround the bottom of the tree.They sent their streamsto all other trees of the field.
5. So the tree was tallerthan all the other trees of the field.Its branches became long and bigbecause of so much water.
6. All the birds of the skymade their nests in the tree’s branches.And all the wild animalsgave birth under the tree’s branches.All great nationslived in the tree’s shade.
7. So the tree was great and beautiful,with its long branches.Its roots reached down to many waters.
8. The cedar trees in the garden of Godwere not as great as it was.The pine treesdid not have such great branches.The plane treesdid not have such branches.No tree in the garden of Godwas as beautiful as this tree.
9. I made it beautifulwith many branches.And all the trees of Eden in the garden of Godwanted to be like it.
10. “‘So this is what the Lord God says: The tree has grown tall. Its top has reached the clouds. And it has become proud of its height.
