3 Behold, Assyria was a acedar in Lebanon
With beautiful branches and forest shade
And blofty in height,
And its top was among the clouds.
4 The awaters made it grow; the 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 aits height was loftier than all the trees of the field,
And its boughs became many and its branches long
Because of bmany waters as it spread them out.
6 All the abirds of the sky nested in its boughs,
And under its branches all the beasts 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 foliage;
For its roots extended to many waters.
8 The acedars in bGod’s garden could not match it;
The cypresses could not liken themselves with its boughs,
And the plane trees were not like its branches.
No tree in bGod’s garden could liken itself with it in its beauty.
9 I made it beautiful with the multitude of its foliage,
And all the trees of aEden, which were in the agarden of God, were jealous of it.
