³     Behold, ^(A)Assyria was a ^(B)cedar in ^(C)Lebanon,
with beautiful branches and ^(D)forest shade,
    ^(E)and of towering height,
    its top among the clouds.^[a]

^6 (A)All the birds of the heavens
    made their nests in its boughs;
under its branches all the beasts of the field
    gave birth to their young,
and under its shadow
    lived all great nations.
