    4It got strength from the waters and the deep made it tall: its streams went round about its planted land and it sent out its waterways to all the trees of the field.

    5In this way it became taller than all the trees of the field; and its branches were increased and its arms became long because of the great waters.

    6In its branches all the birds of heaven came to rest, and under its arms all the beasts of the field gave birth to their young, and great nations were living in its shade.

    7So it was beautiful, being so tall and its branches so long, for its root was by great waters.

    8No cedars were equal to it in the garden of God; the fir-trees were not like its branches, and plane-trees were as nothing in comparison with its arms; no tree in the garden of God was so beautiful.

    9I made it beautiful with its mass of branches: so that all the trees in the garden of God were full of envy of it.

    1Let me make a song about my loved one, a song of love for his vine-garden. My loved one had a vine-garden on a fertile hill:

    2And after working the earth of it with a spade, he took away its stones, and put in it a very special vine; and he put up a watchtower in the middle of it, hollowing out in the rock a place for the grape-crushing; and he was hoping that it would give the best grapes, but it gave common grapes.

    3And now, you people of Jerusalem and you men of Judah, be the judges between me and my vine-garden.

    4Is there anything which might have been done for my vine-garden which I have not done? why then, when I was hoping for the best grapes did it give me common grapes?
