Ezekiel 31:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 All the fowls of the heavens made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow dwelt all mighty nations.
7 Thus was he fair in his greatness, and in the length of his branches: for his root was near great waters.
8 The cedars in the garden [a]of God could not hide him: no fir tree was like his branches: and the chestnut trees were not like his boughs: all the trees in the garden of God were not like unto him in his beauty.

Ezekiel 31:6-8
New International Version
6 All the birds of the sky
nested in its boughs,
all the animals of the wild
gave birth(A) under its branches;
all the great nations
lived in its shade.(B)
7 It was majestic in beauty,
with its spreading boughs,
for its roots went down
to abundant waters.(C)
8 The cedars(D) in the garden of God
could not rival it,
nor could the junipers
equal its boughs,
nor could the plane trees(E)
compare with its branches—
no tree in the garden of God
could match its beauty.(F)
