Ezekiel 31:8-9
King James Version
8 The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.
9 I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him.

8 The cedars(A) in the garden of God
could not rival it,
nor could the junipers
equal its boughs,
nor could the plane trees(B)
compare with its branches—
no tree in the garden of God
could match its beauty.(C)
9 I made it beautiful
with abundant branches,
the envy of all the trees of Eden(D)
in the garden of God.(E)

8 The cedars in God’s garden could not eclipse it;(A)
the pine trees couldn’t compare with its branches,
nor could the plane trees match its boughs.
No tree in the garden of God
could compare with it in beauty.
9 I made it beautiful with its many limbs,
and all the trees of Eden,
which were in God’s garden, envied it.
