'Tree' in the Bible

The word of the Lord came to me saying, “What do you see, Jeremiah?” And I said, “I see a rod of an almond tree.”

“For long ago I broke your yokeAnd tore off your bonds;But you said, ‘I will not serve!’For on every high hillAnd under every green treeYou have lain down as a harlot.

Who say to a tree, ‘You are my father,’And to a stone, ‘You gave me birth.’For they have turned their back to Me,And not their face;But in the time of their trouble they will say,‘Arise and save us.’

Then the Lord said to me in the days of Josiah the king, “Have you seen what faithless Israel did? She went up on every high hill and under every green tree, and she was a harlot there.

‘Only acknowledge your iniquity,That you have transgressed against the Lord your GodAnd have scattered your favors to the strangers under every green tree,And you have not obeyed My voice,’ declares the Lord.

“I will surely snatch them away,” declares the Lord;“There will be no grapes on the vineAnd no figs on the fig tree,And the leaf will wither;And what I have given them will pass away.”’”

The Lord called your name,“A green olive tree, beautiful in fruit and form”;With the noise of a great tumultHe has kindled fire on it,And its branches are worthless.

But I was like a gentle lamb led to the slaughter;And I did not know that they had devised plots against me, saying,“Let us destroy the tree with its fruit,And let us cut him off from the land of the living,That his name be remembered no more.”

“For he will be like a tree planted by the water,That extends its roots by a streamAnd will not fear when the heat comes;But its leaves will be green,And it will not be anxious in a year of droughtNor cease to yield fruit.
