19WhenH3588 you lay siegeH6696 toH413 a cityH5892 for an extendedH7227 timeH3117 while fightingH3898 against itH5921 to capture itH8610, you must notH3808 destroyH7843 its treesH6086 by puttingH5080 an axeH1631 to themH5921, becauseH3588 you can eat their fruitH398. You must notH3808 cut them downH3772H3588. Are the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 humanH120, that you should besiege themH935H6440H4692? 20ButH7535 you may destroyH7843 the treesH6086 thatH834 you knowH3045H3588 do notH3808H6086 produce fruitH3978H1931. Use them to buildH1129 siege worksH4692 againstH5921 the cityH5892 thatH834H1931 is wagingH6213 warH4421 against youH5973, untilH5704 it fallsH3381.
