“Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit.

Then all the trees of the field will know
that I am Yahweh.
I bring down the tall tree,

and make the withered tree thrive.

The remaining trees of its forest
will be so few in number
that a child could count them.

They stretch out like river valleys,
like gardens beside a stream,
like aloes the Lord has planted,
like cedars beside the water.

The cedars in God’s garden could not rival 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 will plant cedars in the desert,
acacias, myrtles, and olive trees.
I will put juniper trees in the desert,
elms and cypress trees together,

They will not build and others live in them;
they will not plant and others eat.
For My people’s lives will be
like the lifetime of a tree.
My chosen ones will fully enjoy
the work of their hands.

The trees of the Lord flourish,
the cedars of Lebanon that He planted.

But you are thrown out without a grave,
like a worthless branch,
covered by those slain with the sword
and dumped into a rocky pit like a trampled corpse.

He described trees, from the cedar in Lebanon to the hyssop growing out of the wall. He also taught about animals, birds, reptiles, and fish.

Though a tenth will remain in the land,
it will be burned again.
Like the terebinth or the oak
that leaves a stump when felled,
the holy seed is the stump.

For you will become like an oak
whose leaves are withered,
and like a garden without water.

well-rooted like a flourishing native tree.

No foreigner who has joined himself to the Lord
should say,
“The Lord will exclude me from His people”;
and the eunuch should not say,
“Look, I am a dried-up tree.”

How happy is the man who does not follow the advice of the wicked, or take the path of sinners, or join a group of mockers! Instead, his delight is in the Lord's instruction, and he meditates on it day and night. He is like a tree planted beside streams of water that bears its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.

The Lord God caused to grow out of the ground every tree pleasing in appearance and good for food, including the tree of life in the middle of the garden, as well as the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Ephraim is struck down;
their roots are withered;
they cannot bear fruit.
Even if they bear children,

for fire has consumed
the pastures of the wilderness,
and flames have devoured
all the trees of the countryside.

There is hope for a tree:
If it is cut down, it will sprout again,
and its shoots will not die.

The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedar as abundant as sycamore in the Judean foothills.
