A tree green, juicy and full of sap, is in the height of his strength and beauty: Juice and sap is to the tree, as blood to the veins, and marrow to the bones of a man; and therefore as a young man in the prime and strength of his age is described by having his veins full of blood, and his bones full of marrow, so a tree is described in it's greatest verdure, by having his root and branches full of sap and moisture. The hypocrite may be such a flourishing tree, He is green before the Sun.

Before the Sun.
1The Hebrew is, Before the face of the Sun. The word Shemesh (the Sun) signifieth a Minister or servant, because the Sun is the great servant of the world, and ministereth those benefits of light, heat, influence. This (by the way) should have kept the Nations from adoring it as a God, which both in name and nature was their servant. But what means this, Before the Sun?
