He cuts down cedars for himself, and takes the cypress and the oak, and strengthens for himself one among the trees of the forest. He plants a cypress tree, and the rain nourishes it.

ગુજરાતીયશાયા ૪૪:૧૪
તે પોતાને માટે એરેજવૃક્ષ, દેવદાર અને એલોન વૃક્ષ કાપી નાખે છે. વનનાં વૃક્ષોમાંનું એક મજબૂત વૃક્ષ પોતાને માટે પસંદ કરે છે; તે દેવદાર રોપે છે અને વરસાદ તેને મોટું કરે છે.
हिन्दीयशायाह ४४:१४
वह देवदार को काटता या वन के वृक्षों में से जाति-जाति के बांज वृक्ष चुनकर देख-भाल करता है, वह देवदार का एक वृक्ष लगाता है जो वर्षा का जल पाकर बढ़ता है।

In context

12The blacksmith takes an ax, works in the coals, fashions it with hammers, and works it with his strong arm. He is hungry, and his strength fails; he drinks no water, and is faint.

13The carpenter stretches out a line. He marks it out with a pencil. He shapes it with planes. He marks it out with compasses, and shapes it like the figure of a man, with the beauty of a man, to reside in a house.

14He cuts down cedars for himself, and takes the cypress and the oak, and strengthens for himself one among the trees of the forest. He plants a cypress tree, and the rain nourishes it.

15Then it will be for a man to burn; and he takes some of it and warms himself. Yes, he burns it and bakes bread. Yes, he makes a god and worships it; he makes it a carved image, and falls down to it.

16He burns part of it in the fire. With part of it, he eats meat. He roasts a roast and is satisfied. Yes, he warms himself and says, “Aha! I am warm. I have seen the fire.”
