Ezekiel 31:3-9

3Look atH2009 AssyriaH804, a cedarH730 in LebanonH3844, with beautifulH3303 branchesH6057 that shadedH6751 the forestH2793. It toweredH1364 on highH6967; its topH6788 wasH1961 amongH996 the cloudsH5688.4The watersH4325 made it growH1431; the deep springsH8415 made it tallH7311, directingH1980 their streamsH5104 all aroundH5439 its baseH4302 and sendingH7971 their channelsH8585 toH413 allH3605 the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704.

5ThereforeH5921H3651 it toweredH1361 higherH6967than allH3605 the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704.Its branchesH5634 multipliedH7235,and its boughsH6288 grew longH748as it spread them outH7971because of the abundantH7227 watersH4325.6AllH3605 the birdsH5775 of the airH8064nestedH7077 in its branchesH5589,and allH3605 the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704gave birthH3205 beneathH8478 its boughsH6288;allH3605 the greatH7227 nationsH1471livedH3427 in its shadeH6738.
7It was beautifulH3302 in its greatnessH1433,in the lengthH753 of its limbsH1808,forH3588 its rootsH8328 extendedH1961toH413 abundantH7227 watersH4325.8The cedarsH730 in the gardenH1588 of GodH430could notH3808 rival itH6004;the cypressesH12651 could notH3808 compareH1819 withH413 its branchesH5589,norH3808 the plane treesH61962 matchH1961 its boughsH6288.NoH3605H3808 treeH6086 in the gardenH1588 of GodH430could compareH1819 withH413 its beautyH3308.9I madeH6213 it beautifulH3303 with its manyH7230 branchesH1808,the envyH7065 of allH3605 the treesH6086 of EdenH5731,whichH834 were in the gardenH1588 of GodH430.’
