Jeremiah 17:8
8 kHe is like a tree planted by water,that sends out its roots by the stream,
and does not fear when heat comes,
for its leaves remain green,
and is not anxious in the year of drought,
for it does not cease to bear fruit.”
Ezekiel 17:23-24
23 lOn the mountain height of Israel will I plant it, that it may bear branches and produce fruit and become a noble cedar. mAnd under it will dwell every kind of bird; in the shade of its branches birds of every sort will nest. 24And all the trees of the field shall know that I am the Lord; nI bring low the high tree, and make high the low tree, dry up othe green tree, and make pthe dry tree flourish. qI am the Lord; I have spoken, and I will do it.”Romans 11:17-18
17But if rsome of the branches were broken off, and you, salthough a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root ▼▼Greek root of richness; some manuscripts richness
of the olive tree, 18do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you. Colossians 1:23
23 uif indeed you continue in the faith, vstable and steadfast, not shifting from wthe hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed xin all creation ▼▼Or to every creature
under heaven, zand of which I, Paul, became a minister.
