Behold, (A)Assyria was a (B)cedar in (C)Lebanon,
with beautiful branches and (D)forest shade,
    (E)and of towering height,
    its top among the clouds.[a]
The waters nourished it;
    the deep made it grow tall,
making (F)its rivers flow
    around the place of its planting,
sending forth its streams
    to all the trees of the field.
So (G)it towered high
    above all the trees of the field;
its boughs grew large
    and its branches long
    from (H)abundant water in its shoots.
