Ezekiel 31:1-9

31¹ And it cometh to pass, in the eleventh year, in the third 'month', in the first of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been unto me, saying: ² 'Son of man, say unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and unto his multitude: To whom hast thou been like in thy greatness? ³ Lo, Asshur, a cedar in Lebanon, Fair in branch, and shading bough, and high in stature, And between thickets hath its foliage been. ⁴ Waters have made it great, The deep hath exalted him with its flowings, Going round about its planting, And its conduits it hath sent forth unto all trees of the field. ⁵ Therefore higher hath been his stature than all trees of the field, And multiplied are his boughs, and long are his branches, Because of many waters in his shooting forth, ⁶ In his boughs made a nest hath every fowl of the heavens, And under his branches brought forth hath every beast of the field, And in his shade dwell do all great nations. ⁷ And he is fair in his greatness, In the length of his thin shoots, For his root hath been by great waters. ⁸ Cedars have not hid him in the garden of God, Firs have not been like unto his boughs, And chesnut-trees have not been as his branches, No tree in the garden of God hath been like unto him in his beauty, ⁹ Fair I have made him in the multitude of his thin shoots, And envy him do all trees of Eden that 'are' in the garden of God.
