Explained for Children
Imagine a big tree that always shows off how tall it is, and a little tree that stays small and humble. God says He can make the big tree fall down and help the little tree grow tall. He can also make a green tree dry up or make a dry tree grow leaves again. God does all this to show how powerful He is.
Historical Background
