Ezekiel 31:6-8

New English Translation

⁶ All the birds of the sky nested in its boughs;
under its branches all the beasts of the field gave birth;
in its shade all the great^[a] nations lived.
⁷ It was beautiful in its loftiness, in the length of its branches;
for its roots went down deep to plentiful waters.
⁸ The cedars in the garden of God could not eclipse it,
nor could the fir trees^[b] match its boughs;
the plane trees were as nothing compared to its branches;
no tree in the garden of God could rival its beauty.
