There is a proverb of not being able to see the forest for the trees.
In this text our danger is not being able to see the trees for the wood.
The description of each tree is all important for the interpretation of the text.
I.
The High Tree—the Type of the Proud Sinner
"I the Lord have brought down the high tree."
The high trees in Scripture mentioned in Scripture are a type of proud sinners.
The best example of that is in Daniel's prophesy.
Nebuchadnezzar dreamed and told Daniel.

See Daniel 4:10-12
Dan.
4:10-12
Every proud sinner is pictured as a high tree, lofty and fruitful and in the sight of man fair to behold.
II.
The Low Tree—the Type of the Repentant Sinner Felled but Then Exalted by Grace

The Low Tree—the Type of the Repentant Sinner Felled but Then Exalted by Grace
Dan.
4:
The sinner must be felled with the axe of God and the high tree must become a low tree.
It is only when the sinner is abased by repentance that he can be uplifted by grace.
As Nebuchadnezzar learned:

III.
The Green Tree—the Type of Christ Crucified
III.
The Green Tree—the Type of Christ Crucified
Christ Himself throws Divine light upon this, using the figure of the green tree as a type of His Atoning Suffering and death.
"For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?" .

.
There can be no hope for any old, dead, dry wood of a sinner but in the sap of the green tree.
There can be no hope for any old, dead, dry wood of a sinner but in the sap of the green tree.
The Lord alone is that tree—the tree planted by the rivers of waters.
Only by His drying up, His drying by the shedding of His life and His life was in His blood, we sinners would fall forever never to rise again.
His sap is our salvation and blessed be God, He the tree of God, was full of sap.
