* Behold , the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches , and with a shadowing shroud , and of an high stature ; and his top was among the thick boughs . * The 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 . * Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field , and his boughs were multiplied , and his branches became long because of the multitude of waters , when he shot forth . * All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs c @#appah #, and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young , and under his shadow dwelt all great nations . * Thus was he fair in his greatness , in the length of his branches : for his root was by great waters . * The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him : the fir trees were not like his boughs c @#appah #, and the chesnut trees were not like his branches p @#orah #; 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 . * Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD ; Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height , and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs , and his heart is lifted up in his height ;
