³     Behold, ^(A)Assyria was a ^(B)cedar in ^(C)Lebanon,
with beautiful branches and ^(D)forest shade,
    ^(E)and of towering height,
    its top among the clouds.^[a]

⁹ “Yet ^(A)it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them,
    ^(B)whose height was like the height of the cedars
    and who was as strong as the oaks;
^(C)I destroyed his fruit above
    and his roots beneath.
