Ezekiel 31:6-8

International Standard Version

⁶The birds in the sky made nests in its boughs;
all the beasts of the field gave birth under its branches.
All the great nations rested in its shade.

⁷‘Beautiful because it was so great,
    with its long branches,
        it was rooted in many bodies of water.^[a]
⁸The cedars in God’s garden could not compare to it;
    Fir trees could not match its boughs.
The plane tree^[b] never grew branches like it,
    and no tree in God’s garden compares to its beauty.
