He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the holm-tree and the oak, and strengtheneth for himself one among the trees of the forest: he planteth a fir-tree, and the rain doth nourish it.

He has cedars cut down for himself, he takes an oak and lets it get strong among the trees of the wood; he has an ash-tree planted, and the rain gives it growth.

Κοπτει εις εαυτον κεδρους και λαμβανει την κυπαρισσον και την δρυν, τα οποια εκλεγει εις εαυτον μεταξυ των δενδρων του δασους· φυτευει πευκην και η βροχη αυξανει αυτην.

He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it.
