10 In the visions of my mind as I was lying in bed, I saw this:
There was a tree in the middle of the earth,
and it was very tall.
11 The tree grew large and strong;
its top reached to the sky, 4:11 Gn 11:4
and it was visible to the ends of the 4:11 Lit of all the earth.
12 Its leaves were beautiful, its fruit was abundant,
and on it was food for all. 4:12 Gn 2:9; Rv 22:2
Wild animals found shelter under it,
the birds of the sky 4:12 Ezk 17:23; Mt 13:32; Lk 13:9 lived in its branches,
and every creature was fed from it. 4:12 Ezk 31:3–6
20 The tree you saw, which grew large and strong, whose top reached to the sky and was visible to the whole earth, 21 and whose leaves were beautiful and its fruit abundant — and on it was food for all, under it the wild animals lived, and in its branches the birds of the sky lived — 22 that tree is you, Your Majesty. For you have become great and strong: your greatness has grown and even reaches the sky, and your dominion extends to the ends of the earth. 4:22 Jr 27:6–8; Ezk 31:3
