35 ^aI have seen a wicked, ruthless man,
spreading himself like ^ba green laurel tree. ^{▼▼The identity of this tree is uncertain}
36 But he passed away, ^{▼▼Or But one passed by} and behold, ^ehe was no more;
though I sought him, he could not be found.

8 ^fHe 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.”
