Ezekiel 31:5-7
New King James Version
5 ‘Therefore (A)its height was exalted above all the trees of the field;
Its boughs were multiplied,
And its branches became long because of the abundance of water,
As it sent them out.
6 All the (B)birds of the heavens made their nests in its boughs;
Under its branches all the beasts of the field brought forth their young;
And in its shadow all great nations [a]made their home.
7 ‘Thus it was beautiful in greatness and in the length of its branches,
Because its roots reached to abundant waters.

Ezekiel 31:5-7
New International Version
5 So it towered higher(A)
than all the trees of the field;
its boughs increased
and its branches grew long,
spreading because of abundant waters.(B)
6 All the birds of the sky
nested in its boughs,
all the animals of the wild
gave birth(C) under its branches;
all the great nations
lived in its shade.(D)
7 It was majestic in beauty,
with its spreading boughs,
for its roots went down
to abundant waters.(E)
