The soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit.
3
That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers.
8
But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God’s unfailing love for ever and ever.
12
The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;
13
planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God.
14
They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green,
12
Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them; let all the trees of the forest sing for joy.
16
The trees of the LORD are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.
17
There the birds make their nests; the stork has its home in the junipers.

Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.

After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree.
7
The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down on the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.
4
They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.

down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.
14
“Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.
17
If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root,
18
do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.
19
You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.”
20
Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble.
21
For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.
22
Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.
23
And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
24
After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!

Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest is my beloved among the young men. I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste.

“ ‘In that day each of you will invite your neighbor to sit under your vine and fig tree,’ declares the LORD Almighty.”
