Ezekiel 31:2-4
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
2 Mortal, say to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his hordes:
Whom are you like in your greatness?
3 Consider Assyria, a cedar of Lebanon,
with fair branches and forest shade,
and of great height,
its top among the clouds.[a]
4 The waters nourished it,
the deep made it grow tall,
making its rivers flow[b]
around the place where it was planted,
sending forth its streams
to all the trees of the field.

2 “Son of man, say to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his hordes:
“‘Who can be compared with you in majesty?
3 Consider Assyria,(A) once a cedar in Lebanon,(B)
with beautiful branches overshadowing the forest;
it towered on high,
its top above the thick foliage.(C)
4 The waters(D) nourished it,
deep springs made it grow tall;
their streams flowed
all around its base
and sent their channels
to all the trees of the field.(E)
