Ezekiel 31:3-6
3Behold, Assyria was a 1cedar in Lebanon With beautiful branches and forest shade, And 23very high, And its top was among the 4clouds.4The 5waters made it grow, the 6deep made it high. With its rivers it continually 7extended all around its planting place, And sent out its channels to all the trees of the field.5Therefore 8its height was loftier than all the trees of the field And its boughs became many and its branches long Because of 9many waters 10as it spread them out.6All the 11birds of the sky nested in its twigs, And under its branches all the animals of the field gave birth, And all great nations lived under its shade.
