⁹ therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of Yahweh:

⁵ Therefore its stature was exalted above all the trees of the field; and its boughs were multiplied, and its branches became long by reason of many waters, when it shot [them] forth.

⁶ All the birds of the sky made their nests in its boughs; and under its branches did all the animals of the field bring forth their young; and under its shadow lived all great nations.

⁷ Thus was it beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its branches; for its root was by many waters.
