Ezekiel 31:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷ It had beautiful,
    long branches,
and its roots found water
    deep in the soil.
^8 (A) None of the cedar trees
    in my garden of Eden
were as beautiful
    as this tree;
no tree of any kind
    had such long branches.
⁹ I, the Lord, gave this tree
    its beauty,
and I helped the branches
    grow strong.
All other trees in Eden
    wanted to be just like it.
