Ezekiel 31:5 in context

  1. 3Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon
    with beautiful branches,
    and with a forest-like shade,
    of high stature;
    and its top was among the thick boughs.
  2. 4The waters nourished it.
    The deep made it to grow.
    Its rivers ran all around its plantation;
    and it sent out its channels to all the trees of the field.
  3. 5Therefore its stature was exalted above all the trees of the field;
    and its boughs were multiplied.
    Its branches became long by reason of many waters,
    when it spread them out.
  4. 6All the birds of the sky made their nests in its boughs.
    Under its branches, all the animals of the field gave birth to their young.
    All great nations lived under its shadow.
  5. 7Thus it was beautiful in its greatness,
    in the length of its branches;
    for its root was by many waters.
