Ezekiel 31:7-9
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
7 Thus was it beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its branches, for its root was by many and great waters.
8 The cedars in the garden of God could not hide or rival it; the cypress trees did not have boughs like it and the plane trees did not have branches like it, nor was any tree in the garden of God like it in its beauty.
9 I made it beautiful with the multitude of its branches, so that all the trees of [a]Eden that were in the garden of God envied it [Assyria].

- Ezekiel 31:9 The traditional site of Eden was within the bounds of the Assyrian Empire. However, this in no sense implies that Assyria was in the garden of God told about in Gen. 2:8.

Ezekiel 31:7-9
New International Version
7 It was majestic in beauty,
with its spreading boughs,
for its roots went down
to abundant waters.(A)
8 The cedars(B) in the garden of God
could not rival it,
nor could the junipers
equal its boughs,
nor could the plane trees(C)
compare with its branches—
no tree in the garden of God
could match its beauty.(D)
9 I made it beautiful
with abundant branches,
the envy of all the trees of Eden(E)
in the garden of God.(F)
