Ezekiel 31:1-9

Ezekiel 31:1-9

1
On the first day of the third month of the eleventh year, the word of ADONAI came to me:
2
"Human being, say to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his hordes: 'Whom are you like in your greatness?
3
Like Ashur, a cedar in the L'vanon. It had beautiful branches, dense foliage, its tall crown surrounded by leafy boughs.
4
The water nourished it; the deep made it grow, sending its rivers round the place where it was planted, sending its streams to all the trees in the fields.
5
So it grew taller than any other tree, its branches grew in number and spread far and wide, for it had plenty of water to make them grow.
6
In its boughs all the birds of the air had their nests, beneath its branches all the wild animals gave birth to their young, and all great nations lived in its shade.
7
It was beautiful in its greatness and the length of its branches, because its roots went down to plenty of water.
8
No cedar in God's garden was like it, no cypress tree could compare with its boughs, no chestnut tree could rival its branches, no tree in God's garden could match its beauty.
9
I made it so beautiful, with its many branches; all trees in 'Eden, God's garden, envied it.'
