³ Consider Assyria,^(A) once a cedar in Lebanon,^(B)
    with beautiful branches overshadowing the forest;
it towered on high,
    its top above the thick foliage.^(C)
4 The waters^(D) nourished it,
    deep springs made it grow tall;
their streams flowed
    all around its base
and sent their channels
    to all the trees of the field.^(E)
