³     Behold, ^(A)Assyria was a ^(B)cedar in ^(C)Lebanon,
with beautiful branches and ^(D)forest shade,
    ^(E)and of towering height,
    its top among the clouds.^[a]

⁵ So ^(A)it towered high
    above all the trees of the field;
its boughs grew large
    and its branches long
    from ^(B)abundant water in its shoots.

⁷ It was ^(A)beautiful in its greatness,
    in the length of its branches;
^(B)for its roots went down
    to abundant waters.
