Ezekiel 31:3–9

³Behold, ^cthe Assyrian was ^da cedar in Lebanon ^†with fair ^ebranches, and with a shadowing ^fshroud, and ^ghof an high stature; and ^hihis top was ^gamong ^ehthe thick boughs. ⁴ⁱⁱThe waters ^||made him great, the deep ^||set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent out her ^||little rivers unto all the trees of the field. ⁵Therefore ^ghhis height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and ^khis boughs were multiplied, and ^lhis branches became long because of the multitude of waters, ^||when he shot forth. ^6mAll the fowls of heaven made their nests in ^khis boughs, and under ^lhis branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and ^mnunder his shadow dwelt all great nations. ⁷Thus was he fair ^bin his greatness, in the length of ^ohis branches: for his root was by great waters. ⁸The cedars ^pin the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like ^khis boughs, and ^qthe chesnut trees were not like ^lhis branches; nor any tree ^pin the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty. ⁹I have made him fair by the multitude of ^ohis branches: so that all the trees of ^pEden, that were ^pin the garden of God, envied him.
