Ezekiel 31:3-5

English Standard Version

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]
4 The waters nourished it;
    the deep made it grow tall,
making ^(F)its rivers flow
    around the place of its planting,
sending forth its streams
    to all the trees of the field.
⁵ So ^(G)it towered high
    above all the trees of the field;
its boughs grew large
    and its branches long
    from ^(H)abundant water in its shoots.
