3‘Behold, Assyria was a cedar in Lebanon

With beautiful branches and forest shade,

And its top was among the clouds.

4‘The waters made it grow, the deep made it high.

With its rivers it continually extended all around its planting place,

And sent out its channels to all the trees of the field.

5‘Therefore its height was loftier than all the trees of the field

And its boughs became many and its branches long

Because of many waters as it spread them out.

6‘All the birds of the sky nested in its twigs,

And under its branches all the animals of the field gave birth,

And all great nations lived under its shade.

7‘So it was beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its branches;

For its roots extended to many waters.

8‘The cedars in God’s garden could not match it;

The junipers could not compare with its branches,

And the plane trees could not match its branches.

No tree in God’s garden could compare with it in its beauty.

9‘I made it beautiful with the multitude of its branches,

And all the trees of Eden, which were in the garden of God, were jealous of it.
