Ezekiel 31:3-5

Lexham English Bible

³ Look! Assyria was a cedar in Lebanon,
    with beautiful branches^[a] and a forest giving shade,
and very high,^[b]
    and its treetop was between the clouds.
⁴ Waters made it great,
    the deep made it grow high;
its rivers were going all around its planting area,^[c]
    and its channels it sent out
    to all of the trees of the field.
⁵ Therefore it became tall,
    with its height more than all of the trees of the field,
and its branches became numerous,
    and its branches became long
    from its sending its shoots from abundant water.^[d]
