Shoftim


A righteous judge is a tree that bears fruit,

Since justice is what he pursues,

He tends it with care and shields it from harm,

From actions he knows are untrue.


A man is compared to a tree of the field,

If to tzidkus is what he aspires,

No swing of an axe can e’re bring him down,

His fruit will ascend ever higher.


Sustaining are trees that bear forth the truth -

 If in foreign field one should flourish,

The angels themselves have planted it there,

From its fruit you shall surely be nourished.
