Ezekiel 31:1-9
1In the 1eleventhH259H6240 yearH8141, in the thirdH7992 month, on the firstH259 of the monthH2320, the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me sayingH559, 2“SonH1121 of manH120, sayH559 to PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 and to his 2hordesH1995, ‘WhomH413H4310 are you likeH1819 in your greatnessH1433?3BeholdH2009, AssyriaH804 was a 3cedarH730 in LebanonH3844 With beautifulH3303 branchesH6057 and forestH2793 shadeH6751, And 45veryH6967 highH6967, And its topH6788 was amongH996 the 6cloudsH5645.4The 7watersH4325 made it growH1431, the 8deepH8415 madeH7311 it highH7311. With its riversH5104 it continually 9extendedH1980 allH5439 aroundH5439 its plantingH4302 placeH4302, And sentH7971 out its channelsH8585 to allH3605 the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704.5ThereforeH5921H3651 10its heightH6967 was loftierH1361 thanH4480 allH3605 the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 And its boughsH5634 becameH7235 manyH7235 and its branchesH6288 longH748 BecauseH4480 of 11manyH7227 watersH4325 12as it spreadH7971 them out.6AllH3605 the 13birdsH5775 of the heavensH8064 nestedH7077 in its boughsH5589, And underH8478 its branchesH6288 allH3605 the beastsH2421 of the fieldH7704 gaveH3205 birthH3205, And allH3605 greatH7227 nationsH1471 livedH3427 under its shadeH6738.7So it was beautifulH3302 in its greatnessH1433, in the lengthH753 of its branchesH1808; For its 14rootsH8328 extendedH1961 to manyH7227 watersH4325.8The 15cedarsH730 in 16God’sH430 gardenH1588 17could not matchH6004 it; The 18cypressesH1265 19could not compareH1819 with its boughsH5589, And the planeH6196 treesH6196 20could not match its branchesH6288. NoH3605H3808 treeH6086 in 21God’sH430 gardenH1588 22could compareH1819 with it in its beautyH3308.9I madeH6213 it beautifulH3303 with the multitudeH7230 of its branchesH1808, And allH3605 the treesH6086 of 23EdenH5731, whichH834 were in the 24gardenH1588 of GodH430, were jealousH7065 of it.
