    the deep made it grow tall,

It was (A)beautiful in its greatness,
    in the length of its branches;
(B)for its roots went down
    to abundant waters.
(C)The cedars (D)in the garden of God could not rival it,
    nor the fir trees equal its boughs;
neither were the plane trees
    like its branches;
no tree (E)in the garden of God

    in the mass of its branches,
and all the trees of (F)Eden envied it,
    that were in the garden of God.
