Jezekiel 31:5

5 Therefore was his stature exalted above all the trees of the field, and his branches spread far by the help of much water.

Jezekiel 31:5 In-Context

3 Behold, the Assyrian was a cypress in Libanus, and was fair in shoots, and high in stature: his top reached to the midst of the clouds.

4 The water nourished him, the depth made him grow tall; she led her rivers round about his plants, and she sent forth her streams to all the trees of the field.

5 Therefore was his stature exalted above all the trees of the field, and his branches spread far by the help of much water.

6 All the birds of the sky made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches all the wild beasts of the field bred; the whole multitude of nations dwelt under his shadow.

7 And he was fair in his height by reason of the multitude of his branches: for his roots were amidst much water.
