Ezekiel 31:3-5

Good News Translation

³ You are like^[a] a cedar in Lebanon,
With beautiful, shady branches,
A tree so tall it reaches the clouds.^[b]
4 There was water to make it grow,
And underground rivers to feed it.
They watered the place where the tree was growing
And sent streams to all the trees of the forest.
⁵ Because it was well-watered,
It grew taller than other trees.
Its branches grew thick and long.
