Ezekiel:31:3-12
nkjv@Ezekiel:31:3 @ Indeed Assyria was a cedar in Lebanon, With fine branches that shaded the forest, And of high stature; And its top was among the thick boughs.
nkjv@Ezekiel:31:4 @ The waters made it grow; Underground waters gave it height, With their rivers running around the place where it was planted, And sent out rivulets to all the trees of the field.
nkjv@Ezekiel:31:5 @ "Therefore its height was exalted above all the trees of the field; Its boughs were multiplied, And its branches became long because of the abundance of water, As it sent them out.
nkjv@Ezekiel:31:6 @ All the birds of the heavens made their nests in its boughs; Under its branches all the beasts of the field brought forth their young; And in its shadow all great nations made their home.
nkjv@Ezekiel:31:7 @ "Thus it was beautiful in greatness and in the length of its branches, Because its roots reached to abundant waters.
nkjv@Ezekiel:31:8 @ The cedars in the garden of God could not hide it; The fir trees were not like its boughs, And the chestnut trees were not like its branches; No tree in the garden of God was like it in beauty.
nkjv@Ezekiel:31:9 @ I made it beautiful with a multitude of branches, So that all the trees of Eden envied it, That were in the garden of God.'
nkjv@Ezekiel:31:10 @ "Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: "Because you have increased in height, and it set its top among the thick boughs, and its heart was lifted up in its height,
nkjv@Ezekiel:31:11 @ therefore I will deliver it into the hand of the mighty one of the nations, and he shall surely deal with it; I have driven it out for its wickedness.
nkjv@Ezekiel:31:12 @ And aliens, the most terrible of the nations, have cut it down and left it; its branches have fallen on the mountains and in all the valleys; its boughs lie broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the peoples of the earth have gone from under its shadow and left it.
