Ezekiel 31:6-8
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
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.
7 It was beautiful in its greatness,
in the length of its branches;
for its roots went down
to abundant waters.
8 The cedars in the garden of God could not rival it,
nor the fir trees equal its boughs;
the plane trees were as nothing
compared with its branches;
no tree in the garden of God
was like it in 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)
