Ezekiel 31:6-8

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

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.^(A)
7 It was beautiful in its greatness,
    in the length of its branches,
for its roots went down
    to abundant water.
⁸ The cedars in the garden of God could not rival it
    nor the fir trees equal its boughs;
the plane trees were as nothing
    compared with its branches;
no tree in the garden of God
    was like it in beauty.^(B)
