All the birds of the sky
    made their nests in the tree’s limbs.
And all the wild animals
    gave birth under its branches.
All great nations
    lived in the tree’s shade.
So the tree was great and beautiful,
    with its long branches,
    because its roots reached down to much water.
The cedar trees in the garden of God
    were not as great as it was.
The pine trees
    did not have such great limbs.
The plane trees
    did not have such branches.
No tree in the garden of God
    was as beautiful as this tree.
