Ezekiel 31:2-4

Modern English Version

Whom are you like in your greatness?
³ Assyria was a cedar in Lebanon,
    with fair branches and shade for a forest,
    and high stature;
and its top was among the clouds.
⁴ The waters made it great;
    the deep set it up on high.
With its rivers it continually ran
    all around its plants,
and sent out its little rivers
    to all the trees of the field.
