[L Look; T Behold] Assyria was once like a cedar tree in Lebanon
    with beautiful branches that shaded the forest.
It was ·very tall [a towering height];
    its top was among the clouds.

Much water made the tree grow;
    the deep springs made it tall.
Rivers flowed
    around ·the bottom of the tree [its place of planting]
and sent their ·streams [channels]
    to all other trees ·in the countryside [of the field].

So the tree was taller
    than all the other trees ·in the countryside [of the field].
Its ·limbs [boughs] became large and its branches long
    because of ·so much [abundant] water.
