{By thy...: Heb. By the hand of thy servants} {the tall...: Heb. the tallness of the cedars thereof and the choice of the fir trees thereof} {the forest...: or, the forest and his fruitful field}

Ezekiel 31:3-12

31:3

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}

31:4

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}

31:5

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}

31:6

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>_.

31:7

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>_.

31:8

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>_.

31:9

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.

31:10

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>_;

31:11

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}

31:12

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.

Amos 2:5

2:5

But I will send
<07971> (8765)

a fire
<0784>

upon Judah
<03063>_,

and it shall devour
<0398> (8804)

the palaces
<0759>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_.

Zechariah 11:1-2

11:1

Open
<06605> (8798)

thy doors
<01817>_,

O Lebanon
<03844>_,

that the fire
<0784>

may devour
<0398> (8799)

thy cedars
<0730>_.

11:2

Howl
<03213> (8685)_,

fir tree
<01265>_;

for the cedar
<0730>

is fallen
<05307> (8804)_;

because the mighty
<0117>

are spoiled
<07703> (8795)_:

howl
<03213> (8685)_,

O ye oaks
<0437>

of Bashan
<01316>_;

for the forest
<03293>

of the vintage
<01208> (8675) <01219> (8803)

is come down
<03381> (8804)_.
