Ezekiel 31:3-9
3Look at Assyria, a cedar in Lebanon, with beautiful branches that shaded the forest. It towered on high; its top was among the clouds.4The waters made it grow; the deep springs made it tall, directing their streams all around its base and sending their channels to all the trees of the field.
5Therefore it towered higherthan all the trees of the field.Its branches multiplied,and its boughs grew longas it spread them outbecause of the abundant waters.6All the birds of the airnested in its branches,and all the beasts of the fieldgave birth beneath its boughs;all the great nationslived in its shade.
7It was beautiful in its greatness,in the length of its limbs,for its roots extendedto abundant waters.8The cedars in the garden of Godcould not rival it;the cypresses1 could not compare with its branches,nor the plane trees2 match its boughs.No tree in the garden of Godcould compare with its beauty.9I made it beautiful with its many branches,the envy of all the trees of Eden,which were in the garden of God.’
