Ezekiel 31:6-8
New American Standard Bible
6 All the (A)birds of the sky nested in its twigs,
And under its branches all the animals of the field gave birth,
And all great nations lived under its shade.
7 So it was beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its branches;
For its [a]roots extended to many waters.
8 The (B)cedars in (C)God’s garden [b]could not match it;
The junipers [c]could not compare with its branches,
And the plane trees [d]could not match its branches.
No tree in (D)God’s garden [e]could compare with it in its beauty.

New International Version
6 All the birds of the sky
nested in its boughs,
all the animals of the wild
gave birth(A) under its branches;
all the great nations
lived in its shade.(B)
7 It was majestic in beauty,
with its spreading boughs,
for its roots went down
to abundant waters.(C)
8 The cedars(D) in the garden of God
could not rival it,
nor could the junipers
equal its boughs,
nor could the plane trees(E)
compare with its branches—
no tree in the garden of God
could match its beauty.(F)
