Ezekiel 31:4-9

Plenty of water has made it grow, deep springs have made it tall. Streams flow all around where it was planted, sending rivulets to all the other trees. So it towered high, much higher than the other trees of the forest. Because of the plentiful waters making it grow, its branches increased in number and spread out very far. All the birds of heaven nested in its strong branches, and wild animals gave birth under its shade. Many, many people sat in its shadow. It was beautiful in its greatness, tall, with such large branches! For its roots were planted in plentiful waters. The mighty cedar tree was unrivaled in God’s garden. No cypress compares to such lovely branches as these; No sycamore could match its splendor. No tree in the garden of God could match its beauty. I made it so lovely with its many branches. It was the envy of every tree in Eden, the garden of God.’ ”
