Ezekiel 31:4-6

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁴ ‘The ^(A)waters made it grow, the ^[a]deep made it high.
With its rivers it continually ^[b]extended all around its planting place,
And sent out its channels to all the trees of the field.
⁵ ‘Therefore ^(B)its height was loftier than all the trees of the field
And its boughs became many and its branches long
Because of ^(C)many waters ^[c]as it spread them out.
⁶ ‘All the ^(D)birds of the heavens nested in its boughs,
And under its branches all the beasts of the field gave birth,
And all great nations lived under its shade.
