Ezekiel 31:7-9

Easy-to-Read Version

⁷ The tree was very beautiful.
    It was so large!
    It had such long branches.
    Its roots had plenty of water.
⁸ Even the cedar trees in God’s garden
    were not as big as this tree.
Cypress trees did not have as many branches.
    Plane trees did not have such branches.
No tree in God’s garden
    was as beautiful as this tree.
⁹ I gave it many branches
    and made it beautiful.
And all the trees in Eden, God’s garden,
    were jealous!’”
