Ezekiel 31:2-4

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

Whom are you like in your greatness?
³     Consider Assyria, a cedar of Lebanon,
with fair branches and forest shade,
    and of great height,
    its top among the clouds.^[a]
4 The waters nourished it,
    the deep made it grow tall,
making its rivers flow^[b]
    around the place where it was planted,
sending forth its streams
    to all the trees of the field.
