Verse 8
The cedars{H730} in the garden{H1588} of God{H430} could not hide{H6004}{(H8804)} him: the fir trees{H1265} were not like{H1819}{(H8804)} his boughs{H5589}, and the chesnut trees{H6196} were not like his branches{H6288}; nor any tree{H6086} in the garden{H1588} of God{H430} was like{H1819}{(H8804)} unto him in his beauty{H3308}.
