It was beautiful and stately
    in the length of its branches,
for its roots sank down
    to a source of abundant water.
The cedars in the garden of God

    nor could the fir trees equal its boughs.
No plane tree had such branches;
    no tree in the garden of God
    could equal its beauty.

    with its mass of foliage;
it was the envy of all the trees in Eden
    that were in the garden of God.
