Ezekiel 31:1 In-Context

1 In the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me:
2 Mortal, say to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his hordes: Whom are you like in your greatness?
3 Consider Assyria, a cedar of Lebanon, with fair branches and forest shade, and of great height, its top among the clouds.
4 The waters nourished it, the deep made it grow tall, making its rivers flow around the place it was planted, sending forth its streams to all the trees of the field.
5 So it towered high above all the trees of the field; its boughs grew large and its branches long, from abundant water in its shoots.
