Ezekiel 31:3 BBE

¹  Now in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

²  Son of man, say to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and to his people; Whom are you like in your great power?

³  See, a pine-tree with beautiful branches and thick growth, giving shade and very tall; and its top was among the clouds.

⁴  It got strength from the waters and the deep made it tall: its streams went round about its planted land and it sent out its waterways to all the trees of the field.

⁵  In this way it became taller than all the trees of the field; and its branches were increased and its arms became long because of the great waters.
