Ezekiel 31:3-9

3Behold, the Assyrian wasH1961 a cedarH730 in LebanonH3844 with fair branchesH6057, and with a forest-like shade, and of high statureH6967; and its top wasH1961 among the thick boughs. 4The watersH4325 nourished it, the deepH8415 made it to growH1431: the riversH5104 thereof ran roundH5439 about its plantation; and it sentH7971 out its channels unto all the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704. 5ThereforeH3651 its statureH6967 was exaltedH1361 above all the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704; and its boughs were multipliedH7235, and its branchesH6288 became longH748 by reason of manyH7227 watersH4325, when it shot them forthH7971. 6All the birdsH5775 of the heavensH8064 made their nestsH7077 in its boughs; and under its branchesH6288 did all the beasts of the fieldH7704 bringH3205 forthH3205 their young; and under its shadowH6738 dweltH3427 all greatH7227 nationsH1471. 7Thus wasH1961 it fair in its greatnessH1433, in the lengthH753 of its branchesH1808; for its rootH8328 wasH1961 by manyH7227 watersH4325. 8The cedarsH730 in the gardenH1588 of GodH430 could not hide it; the fir-trees wereH1961 not like its boughs, and the plane-trees wereH1961 not as its branchesH6288; nor wasH1961 any treeH6086 in the gardenH1588 of GodH430 like unto it in its beautyH3308. 9I madeH6213 it fair by the multitudeH7230 of its branchesH1808, so that all the treesH6086 of EdenH5731, that were in the gardenH1588 of GodH430, envied it.
