10 (A)The visions of my head as I lay in bed were these: I saw, and (B)behold, a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height was great. 11 (C)The tree grew and became strong, and its top reached to heaven, and it was visible to the end of the whole earth. 12 (D)Its leaves were beautiful and its fruit abundant, and in it was food for all.

Ezekiel 31:3-10
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,
