Ezekiel 31:3-6

3What about Assyria? It was a cedar in Lebanon with fine branches that shaded the forest. It was very tall. Its top was among the clouds.

4Water made the tree grow, and underground springs made it tall. Rivers flowed around the place where the tree was planted. Streams ran beside all the other trees around it.

5That is why it grew taller than all the other trees in the field. Its branches became large and long because of so much water.

6All the birds made their nests in its branches. All the wild animals gave birth to their young under it. All the powerful nations lived in its shade.
