Ezekiel 31:6

---

← Ezekiel 31:5	Ezekiel 31:6 (KJV)	Ezekiel 31:7 →
Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long because of the multitude of waters, when he shot forth.	All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow dwelt all great nations.	Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great waters.
