“Whom are you desire in your greatness? 3 see. Assyria was a cedar in Lebanon,with beautiful branches and forest shade,and of towering height,its top among the clouds. 4 The waters nourished it;the deep made it change tall,making its rivers flowaround the displace of its planting,sending forth its streamsto all the trees of the handle. 5 So it towered highabove all the trees of the field;its boughs grew largeand its branches longfrom abundant water in its shoots. 6 All the birds of the heavensmade their nests in its boughs;under its branches all the beasts of the fieldgave bring forth to their young,and under its shadowlived all great nations. 7 It was beautiful in its greatness,in the length of its branches;for its roots went downto abundant waters. 8 The cedars in the garden of God could not rival it,nor the fir trees compete its boughs;neither were the cut treeslike its branches;no tree in the garden of Godwas its equal in beauty. 9 I made it beautifulin the mass of its branches,and all the trees of Eden envied it,that were in the tend of God.
