Ezekiel 31:3-5
New Catholic Bible
3 Consider Assyria, formerly a cypress in Lebanon,
with beautiful branches and lofty in stature,
and its top above the thick foliage.
4 The waters nourished it;
deep springs caused it to grow tall;
those springs also made its rivers flow
around the place it was planted,
sending forth streams of water
to all the trees of the field.[a]
5 Therefore, it towered in height
above all other trees of the field.
Its branches grew long
because of the abundant water.
