tree you lay down as a
prostitute.

tree, ‘You are my father,’ and to a stone, ‘You gave me birth.’ For they have turned their backs to Me and not their faces, yet in the time of trouble they
beg, ‘Rise up and save us!’

Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which
backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green
tree, and there hath played the
harlot.
Now in the days of King
Josiah, the LORD said to me, “Have you seen what faithless Israel has done? She has gone up on every high hill and under every green
tree to
prostitute herself there.
And it came to pass through the lightness of her
whoredom, that she
defiled the land, and committed
adultery with stones and with stocks.

fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the sword.

devour your harvest and food; they will
consume your sons and daughters; they will eat up your flocks and herds; they will feed on your vines and fig
trees. With the sword they will destroy the fortified cities in which you trust.”

Hew ye down
trees, and cast a mount against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her.

ramp against Jerusalem. This city must be punished; there is nothing but oppression in her midst.

fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the
trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be
quenched.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, My anger and My
fury will be poured out on this place, on man and beast, on the
trees of the field and the produce of the land, and it will burn and not be
extinguished.

consume them, saith the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig
tree, and the leaf shall
fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.

For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a
tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the
workman, with the
axe.

tree from the forest; it is shaped with a
chisel by the hands of a
craftsman.
They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.

cucumber patch, their idols cannot speak. They must be carried because they cannot walk. Do not fear them, for they can do no
harm, and neither can they do any good.”

roar He will set it on fire, and its branches will be consumed.

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

tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of
drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

tree planted by the waters that sends out its roots toward the stream. It does not fear when the heat comes, and its leaves are always green. It does not
worry in a year of
drought, nor does it cease to produce fruit.

woodsmen cutting down
trees.

tree and

fragrant incense to all their idols.
