(A)“Son of man, say to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to (B)his multitude:

(C)“Whom are you like in your greatness?
    Behold, (D)Assyria was a (E)cedar in (F)Lebanon,
with beautiful branches and (G)forest shade,
    (H)and of towering height,
    its top among the clouds.[a]
The waters nourished it;
    the deep made it grow tall,
making (I)its rivers flow
    around the place of its planting,
sending forth its streams
    to all the trees of the field.
