“Son of man, say to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his multitude:

“Whom are you like in your greatness?

    Behold, I will liken you to[a] a cedar in Lebanon,
with fair branches and forest shade,
    and of great height,
    its top among the clouds.[b]
The waters nourished it,
    the deep made it grow tall,
making its rivers flow[c]
    round the place of its planting,
sending forth its streams
    to all the trees of the forest.
