Ezekiel 31:3-5

Legacy Standard Bible

³ Behold, Assyria was a ^(A)cedar in Lebanon
With beautiful branches and forest shade
And ^(B)lofty in height,
And its top was among the ^[a]clouds.
⁴ The ^(C)waters made it grow; the ^[b]deep made it high.
With its rivers it was going all around its planting place
And sent out its conduits to all the trees of the field.
⁵ Therefore ^(D)its height was loftier than all the trees of the field,
And its boughs became many and its branches long
Because of ^(E)many waters ^[c]as it spread them out.
