Ezekiel 31:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² Son of man, speak to Pharao king of Egypt, and to his people: To whom art thou like in thy greatness?

³ Behold, the Assyrian was like a cedar in Libanus, with fair branches, and full of leaves, of a high stature, and his top was elevated among the thick boughs.

⁴ The waters nourished him, the deep set him up on high, the streams thereof ran round about his roots, and it sent forth its rivulets to all the trees of the country.
