Much water made the tree grow;
    the deep springs made it tall.
Rivers flowed
    around the bottom of the tree
and sent their streams
    to all other trees in the countryside.
So the tree was taller
    than all the other trees in the countryside.

And all the wild animals
    gave birth under its branches.
All great nations
    lived in the tree’s shade.
