“A tree stood in the middle of the land;
        it was huge, rising high in the sky.
¹¹     The tree grew tall and strong,
        and it reached right up to the top of the sky.
    It was so large that it could be seen
        from one end of the earth to the other.
¹²     It had beautiful leaves and plenty of fruit.
        In fact, it provided sustenance for everyone.
    Wild animals came and rested in its cool shade.
        Birds flew in and built nests on its sturdy branches.
        Every living creature plucked its fruit and was satisfied.
