Anyone whose wisdom exceeds his deeds,
to what is he compared?
To a tree who branches are many
to what is he compared?
To a tree who branches are many
but whose roots are few;
then the winds comes and uproots it
and turns it upside down;
as is it said;
"And he shall be like a lonely juniper tree
in the wasteland
and shall not see when good comes,
but shall inhabit the parched
places of the wilderness;
a salt filled land
which is uninhabitable."
[6:17] Jeremiah
