Ezekiel 31:4-6

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁴ The waters nourished it,
    the deep made it grow tall,
making its rivers flow^[a]
    around the place where it was planted,
sending forth its streams
    to all the trees of the field.
⁵ So it towered high
    above all the trees of the field;
its boughs grew large
    and its branches long,
    from abundant water in its shoots.
⁶ All the birds of the air
    made their nests in its boughs;
under its branches all the animals of the field
    gave birth to their young;
and in its shade
    all great nations lived.
