The Trees of the Field and Sarah Remembered in Tanchuma

[And the LORD remembered Sarah (Genesis 21:1).] This is what Scripture says: "And all the trees of the field shall know that I am the LORD…" (Ezekiel 17:24). Who are the trees of the field? Rabbi Jacob bar Aha said: These are human beings, as it is said, "for the human is the tree of the field" (Deuteronomy 20:19). "I have brought low the high tree" (Ezekiel, there) — this is Nebuchadnezzar. "I have made high the low tree" (Ezekiel 17:24) — this is Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, who were cast into the fiery furnace. "I have dried up the moist tree" (there) — this is Belshazzar. "I have made the withered tree flourish" (there) — this is Daniel.
