Ezekiel 31:6-9
6All the 1birds of the heavens nested in its boughs, And under its branches all the beasts of the field gave birth, And all great nations lived under its shade.7So it was beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its branches; For its 2roots extended to many waters.8The 3cedars in 4God’s garden 5could not match it; The 6cypresses 7could not compare with its boughs, And the plane trees 8could not match its branches. No tree in 9God’s garden 10could compare with it in its beauty.9I made it beautiful with the multitude of its branches, And all the trees of 11Eden, which were in the 12garden of God, were jealous of it.
