2 “Son of man, say to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his multitude:
a‘Whom are you like in your greatness?
a‘Whom are you like in your greatness?
3 aIndeed Assyria was a cedar in Lebanon,
With fine branches that shaded the forest,
And of high stature;
And its top was among the thick boughs.
With fine branches that shaded the forest,
And of high stature;
And its top was among the thick boughs.
4 aThe waters made it grow;
Underground waters gave it height,
With their rivers running around the place where it was planted,
And sent out1 rivulets to all the trees of the field.
Underground waters gave it height,
With their rivers running around the place where it was planted,
And sent out1 rivulets to all the trees of the field.
5 ‘Therefore aits height was exalted above all the trees of the field;
Its boughs were multiplied,
And its branches became long because of the abundance of water,
As it sent them out.
Its boughs were multiplied,
And its branches became long because of the abundance of water,
As it sent them out.
6 All the abirds of the heavens made their nests in its boughs;
Under its branches all the beasts of the field brought forth their young;
And in its shadow all great nations1 made their home.
Under its branches all the beasts of the field brought forth their young;
And in its shadow all great nations1 made their home.
