With beautiful branches and forest shade,

And 31:3 Lit high of staturevery high,

3Behold, Assyria was a cedar in Lebanon

With beautiful branches and forest shade,

And very high,

And its top was among the clouds.

With beautiful branches and with forest shade,

And of high stature,

With its top among the clouds.

with beautiful branches that shaded the forest.

It towered on high;

its top was among the clouds.

Once it was like a cedar tree in Lebanon.

It had beautiful branches

that provided shade for the forest.

It grew very high.

Its top was above all the leaves.
