And enlighten the mind
of those who would cut them down in this land
and in all the lands of the world,
as it is written, “You shall not cut down its trees by wielding against them an axe.”[1] Deuteronomy 20:19
And also, in the words of King Solomon it is written,
“A tree of life it is to those who hold fast to it,
and all its supporters are content.”[2] Proverbs 3:18
Blessed are you, the renewer of the trees.
