And its top was among the [fn]clouds.

With its rivers it continually [fn]extended all around its planting place,

And sent out its channels to all the trees of the field.

And its boughs became many and its branches long

Because of many waters [fn]as it spread them out.

And under its branches all the animals of the field gave birth,

And all great nations lived under its shade.

For its [fn]roots extended to many waters.

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

No tree in God’s garden [fn]could compare with it in its beauty.

For they have all been turned over to death, to the earth beneath, among [fn]mankind, [fn]with those who go down to the pit.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 31:15 -

‘This is what the Lord GOD says: “On the day when it went down to Sheol I caused mourning; I closed the [fn]deep over it and held back its rivers. And its many waters were stopped up, and I made Lebanon mourn for it, and all the trees of the field wilted away on account of it.

Unchecked Copy BoxEze 31:16 - “I made the nations quake from the sound of its fall when I made it go down to Sheol with those who go down to the pit; and all the [fn]well-watered trees of Eden, the choicest and best of Lebanon, were comforted in the earth beneath.
