Ezekiel 31:5-7

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

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.^(A)
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.^(B)
7 It was beautiful in its greatness,
    in the length of its branches,
for its roots went down
    to abundant water.
