Ezekiel 31:6-8

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁶ ‘All the ^(A)birds of the heavens nested in its boughs,
And under its branches all the beasts of the field gave birth,
And all great nations lived under its shade.
⁷ ‘So it was beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its branches;
For its ^[a]roots extended to many waters.
⁸ ‘The ^(B)cedars in ^(C)God’s garden ^[b]could not match it;
The ^[c]cypresses ^[d]could not compare with its boughs,
And the plane trees ^[e]could not match its branches.
No tree in ^(D)God’s garden ^[f]could compare with it in its beauty.
