Their delight is in
the law of the Lord, and on his law they meditate day and night. They
are like trees planted by streams of water, which yield their fruit in
its season, and their leaves do not wither. In all that they do, they
prosper.
Psalm 1:2-3
Beside the torrent
on either bank fruitful trees of every kind will grow. Their leaves will
not wither, nor will their fruit fail, they will bear fruit early every
month, for the water for them flows from the sanctuary; their fruit is
for food and their leaves for healing.
Ezekiel 47:12
Then the angel showed
me the river of the water of life, sparkling like crystal, flowing from
the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the city’s
street.
On either
side of the river stood a tree of life, which yields twelve crops of fruit,
one for each month of the year. The leaves of the tree are for the healing
of the nations.
Revelation 22:1-2
Happy is he who has found wisdom, he who has acquired understanding,
for wisdom is more profitable than silver, and the gain she brings is better
than gold! She is more precious than red coral, and none
of your jewels can compare with her. In her left hand are
riches and honour. Her ways are pleasant ways and
her paths all lead to prosperity. She is a tree of life
to those who grasp her, and those who hold her fast are safe.
By wisdom
the Lord laid the earth’s foundations and by understanding
he set the heavens in place; by his knowledge the springs
of the deep burst forth and the clouds dropped dew.
Proverbs 3:13-20
