Ezekiel 31:3-5

International Children’s Bible

³ Assyria was once like a cedar tree in Lebanon.
    It had beautiful branches that shaded the forest.
It was very tall.
    Its top was among the clouds.
⁴ Much water made the tree grow.
    The deep springs of water made the tree tall.
Rivers flowed
    around the bottom of the tree.
They sent their streams
    to all other trees of the field.
⁵ So the tree was taller
    than all the other trees of the field.
Its branches became long and big
    because of so much water.
