Ezekiel 31:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ Its spreading branches
    made it majestic and beautiful.
Its roots went down deep
    to where there was plenty of water.
⁸ The cedar trees in my garden
    were no match for it.
The juniper trees
    could not equal its limbs.
The plane trees
    could not compare with its branches.
No tree in my garden
    could match its beauty.
⁹ I gave it many branches.
    They made it beautiful.
All the trees in my Garden of Eden
    were jealous of it.’ ”
