Context of Ezekiel 31:9
7Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: because his root was by great waters. 8The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him; the cypresses were not like his boughs, and the plane-trees were not as his branches: no tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty. I had made him fair by the multitude of his branches; and all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him. 10Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast lifted up thyself in stature, ...and he hath set his top amidst the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height, 11I have given him into the hand of the mighty one of the nations; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness.
