Ezekiel 31:6-8
New English Translation
Ezekiel 31:6-8
New English Translation
6 All the birds of the sky nested in its boughs;
under its branches all the beasts of the field gave birth;
in its shade all the great[a] nations lived.
7 It was beautiful in its loftiness, in the length of its branches;
for its roots went down deep to plentiful waters.
8 The cedars in the garden of God could not eclipse it,
nor could the fir trees[b] match its boughs;
the plane trees were as nothing compared to its branches;
no tree in the garden of God could rival its beauty.
