Ezekiel 31:3-9

The Parable of the Mighty Cedar

Ezekiel 31:3-9
3
Look at Assyria, a cedar in Lebanon, with beautiful branches that shaded the forest. It towered on high; its top was among the clouds.
4
The waters made it grow; the deep springs made it tall, directing their streams all around its base and sending their channels to all the trees of the field.
5
Therefore it towered higher than all the trees of the field. Its branches multiplied, and its boughs grew long as it spread them out because of the abundant waters.
6
All the birds of the air nested in its branches, and all the beasts of the field gave birth beneath its boughs; all the great nations lived in its shade.
7
It was beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its limbs, for its roots extended to abundant waters.
8
The cedars in the garden of God could not rival it; the cypresses could not compare with its branches, nor the plane trees match its boughs. No tree in the garden of God could compare with its beauty.
9
I made it beautiful with its many branches, the envy of all the trees of Eden, which were in the garden of God.’
