All the (A)birds of the sky nested in its boughs,
And under its branches all the beasts of the field gave birth,
And all great nations lived under its shade.
So it was beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its foliage;
For its [a]roots extended to many waters.
The (B)cedars in (C)God’s garden [b]could not match it;
The [c]cypresses [d]could not liken themselves with its boughs,
And the plane trees were not like its branches.
No tree in (D)God’s garden [e]could liken itself with it in its beauty.
