And reveled in Your great goodness.

Mountains and all hills;
Fruit trees and all cedars;

I made gardens and parks for myself and I planted in them all kinds of fruit trees;

‘When you enter the land and plant all kinds of trees for food, then you shall count their fruit as forbidden. Three years it shall be forbidden to you; it shall not be eaten.

Your strength will be spent uselessly, for your land will not yield its produce and the trees of the land will not yield their fruit.

Do not fear, beasts of the field,
For the pastures of the wilderness have turned green,
For the tree has borne its fruit,
The fig tree and the vine have yielded in full.

The vine dries up
And the fig tree fails;
The pomegranate, the palm also, and the apple tree,
All the trees of the field dry up.

“A green olive tree, beautiful in fruit and form”;
With the noise of a great tumult
He has kindled fire on it,
And its branches are worthless.

That his name be remembered no more.”

Nor cease to yield fruit.

Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you;

And there be no fruit on the vines,
Though the yield of the olive should fail
And the fields produce no food,
Though the flock should be cut off from the fold
And there be no cattle in the stalls,

And he who is wise wins souls.

He who tends the fig tree will eat its fruit,
And he who cares for his master will be honored.

The more altars he made;
