Ezekiel 31:3-9

3Behold, AssyriaH804 wasH1961 a cedarH730 in LebanonH3844, with fair branchesH6057 and a shadowing shroud, and of a high statureH6967: and his top wasH1961 amidst the thick boughs.

4The watersH4325 made him greatH1431, the deepH8415 set him up on highH7311; its streams ran roundH5439 about his plantation, and it sentH7971 out its rivulets unto all the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704.

5ThereforeH3651 his heightH6967 was exaltedH1361 above all the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704, and his boughs were multipliedH7235, and his branchesH6288 became longH748, because of greatH7227 watersH4325, when he shot forthH7971.

6All the fowl of the heavensH8064 made their nestsH7077 in his boughs, and under his branchesH6288 did all the beasts of the fieldH7704 bringH3205 forthH3205 their young, and under his shadowH6738 dweltH3427 all the greatH7227 nationsH1471.

7Thus wasH1961 he fair in his greatnessH1433, in the lengthH753 of his branchesH1808: because his rootH8328 wasH1961 by greatH7227 watersH4325.

8The cedarsH730 in the gardenH1588 of 1GodH430 could not hide him; the cypressesH1265 wereH1961 not like his boughs, and the plane-trees wereH1961 not as his branchesH6288: no treeH6086 in the gardenH1588 of 2GodH430 wasH1961 like unto him in his beautyH3308.

9I had madeH6213 him fair by the multitudeH7230 of his branchesH1808; and all the treesH6086 of EdenH5731, that were in the gardenH1588 of 3GodH430, envied him.
