Ezekiel 31:4-6

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁴ Water made the tree grow,
and underground springs made it tall.
Rivers flowed around the place where the tree was planted.
Streams ran beside all the other trees around it.
⁵ That is why it grew taller than all the other trees in the field.
Its branches became large and long because of so much water.
⁶ All the birds made their nests in its branches.
All the wild animals gave birth to their young under it.
All the powerful nations lived in its shade.
