Ezekiel 31:6-8
International Standard Version
6 The birds in the sky made nests in its boughs;
all the beasts of the field gave birth under its branches.
All the great nations rested in its shade.
7 ‘Beautiful because it was so great,
with its long branches,
it was rooted in many bodies of water.[a]
8 The cedars in God’s garden could not compare to it;
Fir trees could not match its boughs.
The plane tree[b] never grew branches like it,
and no tree in God’s garden compares to its beauty.
