³ Behold, the Ashshuri, a cedar in Lebanon with beautiful branches with an overshadowing forest and high in height; with his foliage among the thick foliage: ⁴ the waters greaten him; the abyss lifts him; and her rivers pass all around his plants and send her channels to all the trees of the field. ⁵ So his height heightens above all the trees of the field; and his twigs greaten and his foliage lengthens because of the abundance of waters when he spreads forth: ⁶ all the flyers of the heavens nest in his twigs and under his foliage all the live beings of the field birth their young; and all the great goyim settle under his shadow: ⁷ and he beautifies in his greatness - in the length of his branches: and so be his root by great waters: ⁸ the cedars in the garden of Elohim shade him not: neither are the fir trees like his twigs; nor the chesnut trees like his foliage; nor any tree in the garden of Elohim like him in his beauty: ⁹ I worked him beautiful in the abundance of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden in the garden of Elohim envy him. ¹⁰ So thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because you heighten in height, and he gives his foliage among the thick foliage and lifts his heart in height; ¹¹ so I give him into the hand of the el of the goyim; in working, he works with him: I drive him out for his wickedness: ¹² and strangers, the tyrants of the goyim, cut him off and abandon him: his branches fall on the mountains and in all the valleys; and his foliage breaks by all the reservoirs of the earth; and all the people of the earth descend from his shadow and abandon him: ¹³ all the flyers of the heavens, tabernacle on his ruin; and all the live beings of the field are on his foliage: ¹⁴ so that none of all the trees by the waters heighten themselves in height; neither give their foliage among the thick foliage nor their mighty oaks stand in their height - all drinking waters: for they are all given to death; to the nethermost of the earth midst the sons of humanity, who descend with them to the well. ¹⁵ Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: In the day he descends to sheol I cause a mourning; I cover the abyss for him: and I withhold the rivers and stay the great waters: and I darken Lebanon for him and all the trees of the field languish for him: ¹⁶ I quake the goyim at the voice of his ruin when I bring him down to sheol with them who descend into the well: and all the trees of Eden - the choice and best of Lebanon - all who drink water sigh in the nethermost of the earth: ¹⁷ they also descend into sheol with him to the pierced with the sword; and settles his arm under his shadow midst the goyim. ¹⁸ To whom are you thus likened in honor and in greatness among the trees of Eden? Yet I bring you down with the trees of Eden to the nethermost of the earth: to lie among the uncircumcised with the pierced by the sword - thus is Paroh and all his multitude - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh.
