Ezekiel 31:4-6

Contemporary English Version

⁴ This tree had plenty of water
    to help it grow tall,
and nearby streams watered
the other trees
    in the forest.
⁵ But this tree towered over
    those other trees,
and its branches
    grew long and thick.
⁶ Birds built nests
    in its branches,
and animals were born
    beneath it.
People from all nations
lived in the shade
    of this strong tree.
