4:11 The tree grew large and strong.
Its top reached far into the sky;
it could be seen 1 from the borders of all the land. 2
4:12 Its foliage was attractive and its fruit plentiful;
on it there was food enough for all.
Under it the wild animals 3 used to seek shade,
and in its branches the birds of the sky used to nest.
All creatures 4 used to feed themselves from it.
