Ezekiel 31:4-6

The Voice

⁴     Heaven’s waters made it grow, kept it healthy;
        the deep waters made it grow tall,
    Causing the rivers to flow around where it was planted,
        channeling water to all the thirsty trees of the field.
⁵     It towered high above all the other trees in that place.
        Its boughs increased in number;
    Its branches grew stronger, thicker, and longer—
        nourished by the generous waters beneath it.
⁶     All the birds of the air built their nests in its strong limbs;
        all the wild beasts of the earth gave birth beneath its mighty branches;
        all the great nations flourished in its long shadow.
