Assyria Is Like a Cedar Tree
31 On the first day of the third month in the eleventh year of exile, the word of the Lord came to me. He said, 2 “Son of man,[a] say this to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and to his people:
“‘You are so great!
Who can I compare you to?

with forest shade, and very tall.
Its top was among the clouds!
