Her palm, she spreadeth out to the oppressed, and, her hands, she extendeth to the needy:

do this, then, my child, and save yourself, for you have come into {the palm of your neighbor's hand}: Go, humble yourself, plead with your neighbor.

She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her,
And happy are all who hold her fast.

Whoever keeps a fig-tree will have its fruit; and the servant waiting on his master will be honoured.

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life,
And he who is wise wins souls.

Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
But desire fulfilled is a tree of life.

A soothing tongue is a tree of life,
But perversion in it crushes the spirit.
