Ezekiel 31:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 I 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.
10 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Because [a]he is lifted up on high, and hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height,
11 I have therefore delivered him into the hands of the [b]mightiest among the heathen: he shall handle him, for I have cast him away for his wickedness.

9 I made it beautiful
with abundant branches,
the envy of all the trees of Eden(A)
in the garden of God.(B)
10 “‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because the great cedar towered over the thick foliage, and because it was proud(C) of its height, 11 I gave it into the hands of the ruler of the nations, for him to deal with according to its wickedness. I cast it aside,(D)
