Ezekiel 31:6-9

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁶ All the birds of the air
    made their nests in its boughs;
under its branches all the animals of the field
    gave birth to their young;
and in its shade
    all great nations lived.
⁷ It was beautiful in its greatness,
    in the length of its branches;
for its roots went down
    to abundant water.
⁸ The cedars in the garden of God could not rival it,
    nor the fir trees equal its boughs;
the plane trees were as nothing
    compared with its branches;
no tree in the garden of God
    was like it in beauty.
⁹ I made it beautiful
    with its mass of branches,
the envy of all the trees of Eden
    that were in the garden of God.
