With fine branches that shaded the forest,
And of high stature;
And its top was among the thick boughs.
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.
Its boughs were multiplied,
And its branches became long because of the abundance of water,
As it sent them out.
Under its branches all the beasts of the field brought forth their young;
And in its shadow all great nations1 made their home.
Because its roots reached to abundant waters.
The fir trees were not like its boughs,
And the1 chestnut trees were not like its branches;
No tree in the garden of God was like it in beauty.
| << Ezekiel 31:4 | Ezekiel 31:6 >> |
