3BeholdH2009, AssyriaH804 was a 1cedarH730 in LebanonH3844 With beautifulH3303 branchesH6057 and forestH2793 shadeH6751, And 23veryH1364 highH6967, And its topH6788 was amongH996 the 4cloudsH5645.4The 5watersH4325 made it growH1431, the 6deepH8415 madeH7311 it highH7311. With its riversH5104 it continually 7extendedH1980 allH5439 aroundH5439 its plantingH4302 placeH4302, And sentH7971 outH7971 its channelsH8585 to allH3605 the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704.5ThereforeH5921H3651 8its heightH6967 wasH1361 loftierH1361 thanH4480 allH3605 the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 And its boughsH5634 becameH7235 manyH7235 and its branchesH6288 longH748 BecauseH4480 of 9manyH7227 watersH4325 10as it spreadH7971 them outH7971.6AllH3605 the 11birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 nestedH7077 in its twigsH5589, And underH8478 its branchesH6288 allH3605 the animalsH2421 of the fieldH7704 gaveH3205 birthH3205, And allH3605 greatH7227 nationsH1471 livedH3427 under its shadeH6738.7So it wasH3302 beautifulH3302 in its greatnessH1433, in the lengthH753 of its branchesH1808; For its 12rootsH8328 extendedH1961 to manyH7227 watersH4325.8The 13cedarsH730 in 14God’sH430 gardenH1588 15could not matchH6004 it; The junipersH1265 16could not compareH1819 with its branchesH5589, And the planeH6196 treesH6196 17could not match its branchesH6288. NoH3605H3808 treeH6086 in 18God’sH430 gardenH1588 19could compareH1819 with it in its beautyH3308.9I madeH6213 it beautifulH3303 with the multitudeH7230 of its branchesH1808, And allH3605 the treesH6086 of 20EdenH5731, whichH834 were in the 21gardenH1588 of GodH430, wereH7065 jealousH7065 of it.
