Ezequiel 31:3

Listen to Ezequiel 31:3
3 Eres como la poderosa Asiria,
que alguna vez fue como un cedro del Líbano,
con hermosas ramas que daban una intensa sombra al bosque
y su copa llegaba hasta las nubes.

Ezequiel 31:3 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 31:3

Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon
Here grew the tallest, most stately, broad and flourishing ones. This sense is, that he was as one of them; comparable to one, for his exaltation and dignity; for the largeness of his dominion, the flourishing circumstances of it, and its long duration; that empire having lasted from the times of Nimrod unto a few years of the present time; for this is to be understood, either of the monarchy itself, or of Esarhaddon; or rather of Chynilidanus, or Saracus, the last king of it. The Septuagint, and Arabic versions render it the "cypariss" in Lebanon; but not that, but the cedar, grew there, and which best suits the comparison: with fair branches;
meaning not children, nor nobles, nor subjects; but provinces, many and large, which were subject to this monarch: and with a shadowing shroud;
power, dominion, authority, a mighty army sufficient to protect all that were under his government, and subject to it: and of an high stature:
exalted above all the kings and kingdoms of the earth: and his top was among the thick boughs;
his kingly power, headship, and dominion, was over a multitude of petty princes and states, comparable to the thick boughs and branches of a tree: or, "among the clouds"; as the Septuagint and Arabic versions render it; above the heights of which the Assyrian monarch attempted to ascend, ( Isaiah 14:14 ) ( Daniel 4:10-12 ) .

Ezequiel 31:3 In-Context

1 Comparación entre Egipto y la Asiria derrotada
El 21 de junio,
durante el año once de cautividad del rey Joaquín, recibí este mensaje del Señor
:
2 «Hijo de hombre, dale este mensaje al faraón, rey de Egipto, y a todas sus multitudes:
»“¿Con quién compararás tu grandeza?
3 Eres como la poderosa Asiria,
que alguna vez fue como un cedro del Líbano,
con hermosas ramas que daban una intensa sombra al bosque
y su copa llegaba hasta las nubes.
4 Los manantiales profundos lo regaban
y lo ayudaban a crecer alto y frondoso.
El agua corría a su alrededor como un río
y fluía hacia todos los árboles cercanos.
5 Este gran árbol se elevaba
muy por encima de los demás árboles que lo rodeaban.
Creció y desarrolló ramas gruesas y largas
por el agua abundante que recibían sus raíces.
