Ezekiel 31:7

← Ezekiel 31:6	Ezekiel 31:7 (KJV)	Ezekiel 31:8 →
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.	The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chesnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.
