Ezekiel 31:4-6

Revised Standard Version

⁴ The waters nourished it,
    the deep made it grow tall,
making its rivers flow^[a]
    round the place of its planting,
sending forth its streams
    to all the trees of the forest.
⁵ So it towered high
    above all the trees of the forest;
its boughs grew large
    and its branches long,
    from abundant water in its shoots.
⁶ All the birds of the air
    made their nests in its boughs;
under its branches all the beasts of the field
    brought forth their young;
and under its shadow
    dwelt all great nations.
