8‘The acedars in bGod’s garden 1could not match it;

The 2cypresses 3could not liken themselves with its boughs,

And the plane trees were not like its branches.

No tree in cGod’s garden 4could liken itself with it in its beauty.

9‘I made it beautiful with the multitude of its foliage,

And all the trees of aEden, which were in the bgarden of God, were jealous of it.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

The cedars in the garden of God could not rival it,

nor the fir trees equal its boughs;

neither were the plane trees

like its branches;

no tree in the garden of God

was its equal in beauty.

I made it beautiful

in the mass of its branches,

and all the trees of Eden envied it,

that were in the garden of God.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

The cedars in the garden of God

could not rival it,

nor could the junipers

equal its boughs,

nor could the plane trees

compare with its branches—

no tree in the garden of God

could match its beauty.

I made it beautiful

with abundant branches,

the envy of all the trees of Eden

in the garden of God.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

The cedars in God’s garden could not eclipse it;

the pine trees couldn’t compare with its branches,

nor could the plane trees match its boughs.

No tree in the garden of God

could compare with it in beauty.

I made it beautiful with its many limbs,

and all the trees of Eden,

which were in God’s garden, envied it.

NLTNew Living Translation

No other cedar in the garden of God

could rival it.

No cypress had branches to equal it;

no plane tree had boughs to compare.

No tree in the garden of God

came close to it in beauty.

Because I made this tree so beautiful,

and gave it such magnificent foliage,

it was the envy of all the other trees of Eden,

the garden of God.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Cedars in the garden of God

could not be equal to it;

fir trees could not resemble its branches,

and plane trees were not even like its branches;

any tree even in the garden of God

could not resemble it in its beauty.

I made it beautiful with the abundance of its branches,

and all of the trees of Eden that were in the garden of God envied it.’ ”

KJV 1900King James Version

The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chesnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty. I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him.
