  • Ezek 31:3-9 : 3 Behold, the Assyrian{H804} was a cedar{H730} in Lebanon{H3844} with fair{H3303} branches{H6057}, and with a shadowing{H6751}{(H8688)} shroud{H2793}, and of an high{H1362} stature{H6967}; and his top{H6788} was among the thick boughs{H5688}. 4 The waters{H4325} made him great{H1431}{(H8765)}, the deep{H8415} set him up on high{H7311}{(H8790)} with her rivers{H5104} running{H1980}{(H8802)} round about{H5439} his plants{H4302}, and sent out{H7971}{(H8765)} her little rivers{H8585} unto all the trees{H6086} of the field{H7704}. 5 Therefore his height{H6967} was exalted{H1361}{(H8804)} above all the trees{H6086} of the field{H7704}, and his boughs{H5634} were multiplied{H7235}{(H8799)}, and his branches{H6288} became long{H748}{(H8799)} because of the multitude{H7227} of waters{H4325}, when he shot forth{H7971}{(H8763)}. 6 All the fowls{H5775} of heaven{H8064} made their nests{H7077}{(H8765)} in his boughs{H5589}, and under his branches{H6288} did all the beasts{H2416} of the field{H7704} bring forth their young{H3205}{(H8804)}, and under his shadow{H6738} dwelt{H3427}{(H8799)} all great{H7227} nations{H1471}. 7 Thus was he fair{H3302}{(H8799)} in his greatness{H1433}, in the length{H753} of his branches{H1808}: for his root{H8328} was by great{H7227} waters{H4325}. 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}. 9 I have made{H6213}{(H8804)} him fair{H3303} by the multitude{H7230} of his branches{H1808}: so that all the trees{H6086} of Eden{H5731}, that were in the garden{H1588} of God{H430}, envied{H7065}{(H8762)} him. 10 Therefore thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the Lord{H136} GOD{H3069}; Because thou hast lifted up{H1361}{(H8804)} thyself in height{H6967}, and he hath shot up{H5414}{(H8799)} his top{H6788} among the thick boughs{H5688}, and his heart{H3824} is lifted up{H7311}{(H8804)} in his height{H1363}; 11 I have therefore delivered{H5414}{(H8799)} him into the hand{H3027} of the mighty one{H410} of the heathen{H1471}; he shall surely{H6213}{(H8800)} deal{H6213}{(H8799)} with him: I have driven him out{H1644}{(H8765)} for his wickedness{H7562}. 12 And strangers{H2114}{(H8801)}, the terrible{H6184} of the nations{H1471}, have cut him off{H3772}{(H8799)}, and have left{H5203}{(H8799)} him: upon the mountains{H2022} and in all the valleys{H1516} his branches{H1808} are fallen{H5307}{(H8804)}, and his boughs{H6288} are broken{H7665}{(H8735)} by all the rivers{H650} of the land{H776}; and all the people{H5971} of the earth{H776} are gone down{H3381}{(H8799)} from his shadow{H6738}, and have left{H5203}{(H8799)} him. 13 Upon his ruin{H4658} shall all the fowls{H5775} of the heaven{H8064} remain{H7931}{(H8799)}, and all the beasts{H2416} of the field{H7704} shall be upon his branches{H6288}: 14 To the end that none of all the trees{H6086} by the waters{H4325} exalt{H1361}{(H8799)} themselves for their height{H6967}, neither shoot up{H5414}{(H8799)} their top{H6788} among the thick boughs{H5688}, neither their trees{H352} stand up{H5975}{(H8799)} in their height{H1363}, all that drink{H8354}{(H8802)} water{H4325}: for they are all delivered{H5414}{(H8738)} unto death{H4194}, to the nether parts{H8482} of the earth{H776}, in the midst{H8432} of the children{H1121} of men{H120}, with them that go down{H3381}{(H8802)} to the pit{H953}. 15 Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the Lord{H136} GOD{H3069}; In the day{H3117} when he went down{H3381}{(H8800)} to the grave{H7585} I caused a mourning{H56}{(H8689)}: I covered{H3680}{(H8765)} the deep{H8415} for him, and I restrained{H4513}{(H8799)} the floods{H5104} thereof, and the great{H7227} waters{H4325} were stayed{H3607}{(H8735)}: and I caused Lebanon{H3844} to mourn{H6937}{(H8686)} for him, and all the trees{H6086} of the field{H7704} fainted{H5969} for him. 16 I made the nations{H1471} to shake{H7493}{(H8689)} at the sound{H6963} of his fall{H4658}, when I cast him down{H3381}{(H8687)} to hell{H7585} with them that descend{H3381}{(H8802)} into the pit{H953}: and all the trees{H6086} of Eden{H5731}, the choice{H4005} and best{H2896} of Lebanon{H3844}, all that drink{H8354}{(H8802)} water{H4325}, shall be comforted{H5162}{(H8735)} in the nether parts{H8482} of the earth{H776}. 17 They also went down{H3381}{(H8804)} into hell{H7585} with him unto them that be slain{H2491} with the sword{H2719}; and they that were his arm{H2220}, that dwelt{H3427}{(H8804)} under his shadow{H6738} in the midst{H8432} of the heathen{H1471}. 18 To whom art thou thus like{H1819}{(H8804)} in glory{H3519} and in greatness{H1433} among the trees{H6086} of Eden{H5731}? yet shalt thou be brought down{H3381}{(H8717)} with the trees{H6086} of Eden{H5731} unto the nether parts{H8482} of the earth{H776}: thou shalt lie{H7901}{(H8799)} in the midst{H8432} of the uncircumcised{H6189} with them that be slain{H2491} by the sword{H2719}.
