6 In its branches all the birds of the heaven made their nest, and under its branches all the animals of the field gave birth, and in its shadow all the many nations lived.
7 And it was beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its branches, for its root was toward much water.
8 Cedars in the garden of God could not be equal to it; fir trees could not resemble its branches, and plane trees were not even like its branches; any tree even in the garden of God could not resemble it in its beauty.
9 I made it beautiful with the abundance of its branches, and all of the trees of Eden that were in the garden of God envied it.’ ”
10 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Because it was tall in height and it set its treetop between thick clouds, and he took pride in his tallness,
11 then I gave it into the hand of the leader of nations; he dealt thoroughly with it according to its wickedness. I drove it out.
12 And strangers cut it off, the most ruthless of nations, and they abandoned it. On the mountains and in all of the valleys its branches fell, and its branches were broken in all the river channels of the land, and all the peoples of the world went out from its shadow, and they abandoned it.
