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.
6 (I)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.
7 It was (J)beautiful in its greatness,
in the length of its branches;
(K)for its roots went down
to abundant waters.
8 (L)The cedars (M)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 (N)in the garden of God
was its equal in beauty.
9 I made it beautiful
in the mass of its branches,
and all the trees of (O)Eden envied it,
that were in the garden of God.
10 “Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because (P)it[b] towered high and set its top among the clouds,[c] and (Q)its heart was proud of its height,

New International Version
3 Consider Assyria,(A) once a cedar in Lebanon,(B)
with beautiful branches overshadowing the forest;
it towered on high,
its top above the thick foliage.(C)
4 The waters(D) nourished it,
deep springs made it grow tall;
their streams flowed
all around its base
and sent their channels
to all the trees of the field.(E)
5 So it towered higher(F)
than all the trees of the field;
its boughs increased
and its branches grew long,
spreading because of abundant waters.(G)
6 All the birds of the sky
nested in its boughs,
all the animals of the wild
gave birth(H) under its branches;
all the great nations
lived in its shade.(I)
7 It was majestic in beauty,
with its spreading boughs,
for its roots went down
to abundant waters.(J)
8 The cedars(K) in the garden of God
could not rival it,
nor could the junipers
equal its boughs,
nor could the plane trees(L)
compare with its branches—
no tree in the garden of God
could match its beauty.(M)
9 I made it beautiful
with abundant branches,
the envy of all the trees of Eden(N)
in the garden of God.(O)
