26:031:004 The waters made him great, the deep set
him up on high with
her
rivers running round about his plants, and sent her
little
rivers
unto all the trees of the field.
26:031:005 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.
26:031:006 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.
26:031:007 Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the
length of his
branches:
for his root was by great waters.
26:031:008 The cedars in the garden of God could not
hide him: the fir
trees
were not like his boughs, and the chestnut trees were
not
like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God
was
like
unto him in his beauty.
26:031:009 I have made him fair by the multitude of
his branches: so that
all
the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God,
envied
him.
26:031:010 Therefore thus saith the Lord god;
Because thou hast lifted up
thyself
in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick
boughs,
and his heart is lifted up in his height;
26:031:011 I have therefore delivered him into the
hand of the mighty one
of
the heathen; he shall surely deal with him: I
have driven
him
out for his wickedness.
26:031:012 And strangers, the terrible of the nations,
have cut him off,
and
have left him: upon the mountains and in all the
valleys
his
branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all
the
rivers
of the land; and all the people of the earth are gone
down
from his shadow, and have left him.
26:031:013 Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the
heaven remain, and
all
the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:
26:031:014 To the end that none of all the trees by
the waters exalt
themselves
for their height, neither shoot up their top among
the
thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in their
height,
all that drink water: for they are all delivered
unto
death,
to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the
children
of men, with them that go down to the pit.
26:031:015 Thus saith the Lord god; In the day
when he went down to the
grave
I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him,
and I
restrained
the floods thereof, and the great waters were
stayed:
and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the
trees
of the field fainted for him.
