Ezekiel 31 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

‘Whom ^H413 H4310 are ^H1819 you like ^H1819 in your greatness ^H1433?

‘Behold ^H2009, Assyria ^H804 was a cedar ^H730 in Lebanon ^H3844

With beautiful ^H3303 branches ^H6057 and forest ^H2793 shade ^H6751,

And [fn]very ^H1364 high ^H6967,

And its top ^H6788 was among ^H996 the [fn]clouds ^H5645.

‘The waters ^H4325 made it grow ^H1431, the [fn]deep ^H8415 made ^H7311 it high ^H7311.

With its rivers ^H5104 it continually [fn]extended ^H1980 all ^H5439 around ^H5439 its planting ^H4302 place ^H4302,

And sent ^H7971 out ^H7971 its channels ^H8585 to all ^H3605 the trees ^H6086 of the field ^H7704.

‘Therefore ^H5921 H3651 its height ^H6967 was ^H1361 loftier ^H1361 than ^H4480 all ^H3605 the trees ^H6086 of the field ^H7704

And its boughs ^H5634 became ^H7235 many ^H7235 and its branches ^H6288 long ^H748

Because ^H4480 of many ^H7227 waters ^H4325 [fn]as it spread ^H7971 them out ^H7971.

‘All ^H3605 the birds ^H5775 of the sky ^H8064 nested ^H7077 in its twigs ^H5589,

And under ^H8478 its branches ^H6288 all ^H3605 the animals ^H2416 of the field ^H7704 gave ^H3205 birth ^H3205,

And all ^H3605 great ^H7227 nations ^H1471 lived ^H3427 under its shade ^H6738.

‘So it was ^H3302 beautiful ^H3302 in its greatness ^H1433, in the length ^H753 of its branches ^H1808;

For its [fn]roots ^H8328 extended ^H1961 to many ^H7227 waters ^H4325.

‘The cedars ^H730 in God’s ^H430 garden ^H1588 [fn]could not match ^H6004 it;

The junipers ^H1265 [fn]could not compare ^H1819 with its branches ^H5589,

And the plane ^H6196 trees ^H6196 [fn]could not match its branches ^H6288.

No ^H3605 H3808 tree ^H6086 in God’s ^H430 garden ^H1588 [fn]could compare ^H1819 with it in its beauty ^H3308.

‘I made ^H6213 it beautiful ^H3303 with the multitude ^H7230 of its branches ^H1808,

And all ^H3605 the trees ^H6086 of Eden ^H5731, which ^H834 were in the garden ^H1588 of God ^H430, were ^H7065 jealous ^H7065 of it.

‘Therefore ^H3651 this ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the Lord ^H136 [fn]GOD ^H3068 says ^H559: “Because ^H3282 H834 [fn]it is ^H1361 tall ^H1361 in stature ^H6967 and has put ^H5414 its top ^H6788 among ^H996 the [fn]clouds ^H5645, and its heart ^H3824 is ^H7311 haughty ^H7311 in its loftiness ^H1363,

‘This ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the Lord ^H136 GOD ^H3068 says ^H559: “On the day ^H3117 when it went ^H3381 down ^H3381 to Sheol ^H7585 I caused ^H56 mourning ^H56; I closed ^H3680 the [fn]deep ^H8415 over ^H5921 it and held ^H4513 back ^H4513 its rivers ^H5104. And its many ^H7227 waters ^H4325 were stopped ^H3607 up ^H3607, and I made Lebanon ^H3844 mourn ^H6937 for it, and all ^H3605 the trees ^H6086 of the field ^H7704 wilted ^H5968 away ^H5968 on ^H5921 account ^H5921 of ^H5921 it.

“To which ^H4310 among the trees ^H6086 of Eden ^H5731 are ^H1819 you so ^H3602 alike ^H1819 in glory ^H3519 and greatness ^H1433? Yet you will be brought ^H3381 down ^H3381 with the trees ^H6086 of Eden ^H5731 to the earth ^H776 beneath ^H8482; you will lie ^H7901 in the midst ^H8432 of the uncircumcised ^H6189 with those who were killed ^H2491 by the sword ^H2719. This ^H1931 is Pharaoh ^H6547 and all ^H3605 his hordes ^H1995!”’ declares ^H5002 the Lord ^H136 GOD ^H3068.”
