| 4 | The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent out her little rivers unto all the trees of the field. | The waters made it grow; the deep springs made it tall, directing their streams all around its base and sending their channels to all the trees of the field. | The waters nourished it, the deep made it to grow: the rivers thereof ran round about its plantation; and it sent out its channels unto all the trees of the field. |
