Ezekiel 31:3-12

Behold, the Assyrian
<0804>
[was] a cedar
<0730>
in Lebanon
<03844>
with fair
<03303>
branches
<06057>_,
and with a shadowing
<06751> (8688)
shroud
<02793>_,
and of an high
<01362>
stature
<06967>_;
and his top
<06788>
was among the thick boughs
<05688>_.
{with fair branches: Heb. fair of branches}
The waters
<04325>
made him great
<01431> (8765)_,
the deep
<08415>
set him up on high
<07311> (8790)
with her rivers
<05104>
running
<01980> (8802)
round about
<05439>
his plants
<04302>_,
and sent out
<07971> (8765)
her little rivers
<08585>
unto all the trees
<06086>
of the field
<07704>_.
{made...: or, nourished him} {set...: or, brought him up} {little rivers: or, conduits}
Therefore his height
<06967>
was exalted
<01361> (8804)
above all the trees
<06086>
of the field
<07704>_,
and his boughs
<05634>
were multiplied
<07235> (8799)_,
and his branches
<06288>
became long
<0748> (8799)
because of the multitude
<07227>
of waters
<04325>_,
when he shot forth
<07971> (8763)_.
{when...: or, when it sent them forth}
All the fowls
<05775>
of heaven
<08064>
made their nests
<07077> (8765)
in his boughs
<05589>_,
and under his branches
<06288>
did all the beasts
<02416>
of the field
<07704>
bring forth their young
<03205> (8804)_,
and under his shadow
<06738>
dwelt
<03427> (8799)
all great
<07227>
nations
<01471>_.
Thus was he fair
<03302> (8799)
in his greatness
<01433>_,
in the length
<0753>
of his branches
<01808>_:
for his root
<08328>
was by great
<07227>
waters
<04325>_.
The cedars
<0730>
in the garden
<01588>
of God
<0430>
could not hide
<06004> (8804)
him: the fir trees
<01265>
were not like
<01819> (8804)
his boughs
<05589>_,
and the chesnut trees
<06196>
were not like his branches
<06288>_;
nor any tree
<06086>
in the garden
<01588>
of God
<0430>
was like
<01819> (8804)
unto him in his beauty
<03308>_.
I have made
<06213> (8804)
him fair
<03303>
by the multitude
<07230>
of his branches
<01808>_:
so that all the trees
<06086>
of Eden
<05731>_,
that [were] in the garden
<01588>
of God
<0430>_,
envied
<07065> (8762)
him.
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
Because thou hast lifted up
<01361> (8804)
thyself in height
<06967>_,
and he hath shot up
<05414> (8799)
his top
<06788>
among the thick boughs
<05688>_,
and his heart
<03824>
is lifted up
<07311> (8804)
in his height
<01363>_;
I have therefore delivered
<05414> (8799)
him into the hand
<03027>
of the mighty one
<0410>
of the heathen
<01471>_;
he shall surely
<06213> (8800)
deal
<06213> (8799)
with him: I have driven him out
<01644> (8765)
for his wickedness
<07562>_.
{he...: Heb. in doing he shall do unto him}
And strangers
<02114> (8801)_,
the terrible
<06184>
of the nations
<01471>_,
have cut him off
<03772> (8799)_,
and have left
<05203> (8799)
him: upon the mountains
<02022>
and in all the valleys
<01516>
his branches
<01808>
are fallen
<05307> (8804)_,
and his boughs
<06288>
are broken
<07665> (8735)
by all the rivers
<0650>
of the land
<0776>_;
and all the people
<05971>
of the earth
<0776>
are gone down
<03381> (8799)
from his shadow
<06738>_,
and have left
<05203> (8799)
him.
