Ezekiel 31:2-4
Lexham English Bible
2 “Son of man,[a] say to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and to his crowd,[b]
‘To whom are you like in your greatness?
3 Look! Assyria was a cedar in Lebanon,
with beautiful branches[c] and a forest giving shade,
and very high,[d]
and its treetop was between the clouds.
4 Waters made it great,
the deep made it grow high;
its rivers were going all around its planting area,[e]
and its channels it sent out
to all of the trees of the field.
