Where the birds build their nests, The stork, in the fir-trees, hath her house;

With fir-trees from Senir, but they for thee all the two-decked vessels, - Cedar from Lebanon, fetched they, to make masts for thee:

The waters made him great, the roaring deep, made him high - with its currents going round about the place where it was planted, Its channels also, it sent forth unto all the trees of the field.

For this cause higher, was his stature than any of the trees of the field,-And multiplied were his boughs And lengthened were his branches, By reason of the mighty waters when he shot forth shoots.

Beautiful, I made him in the abundance of his waving branches,- Therefore was be envied by all the trees of Eden, which were in the garden of God.

To the end that none of the trees of the waters - May exalt themselves in their stature or stretch their top among the clouds, Nor their mighty ones take their stand in their height- any that drink of the waters, - Because they all, are delivered to death Unto the earth below. In the midst of the sons of Adam. Amongst them who descend into the pit.

Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, In the day when he descended into hades, I caused a mourning. I covered over him the roaring deep, And restrained the currents thereof And stayed were the mighty waters, So caused I gloom over him unto Lebanon, And all the trees of the field for him were covered with a shroud.

At the sound of his fall, I made nations tremble, When I caused him to descend into hades, with them who descend into the pit, - Then were grieved in the earth below-All the trees of Eden, The choicest and best of Lebanon All who had drunk the waters.

Thy wife, like a fruitful vine, within the recesses of thy house, - Thy children, like plantings of olive-trees, round about thy table.

Ye mountains, and all hills, fruit trees, and all cedars;

When returned, then lo! by the hank of the river, trees very many, - on this side and on that side. S

These are they - who, in your love-feasts, are hidden rocks, as they fare sumptuously together, fearlessly, themselves, shepherding, - clouds without water, by winds swept along, trees autumnal, fruitless, twice dead, uprooted,

saying - Do not injure the land, or the sea, or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God upon their foreheads.

And, the first, sounded; and there came to be hail and fire mingled with blood, and it was cast unto the earth; and, the third of the earth, was burned up, and, the third of the trees, was burned up, and, all green herbage, was burned up.

So David enquired of Yahweh, and he said - Thou shalt not go up, - Get round behind them, and come in upon them, over against the mulberry-trees.

And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, then, shalt thou act with decision, - for, then, will Yahweh have gone forth before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines.

These, are the two olive-trees, and the two lamps, which, before the Lord of the earth, do stand.

I made me gardens, and parks, - I planted in them trees of every kind of fruit;

I made me pools of water, - to irrigate therefrom the thick-set saplings growing up into trees:
