- In the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first of the month, the word of the LORD came to me saying,
- "Son of man, say to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his hordes, 'Whom are you like in your greatness?
- 'Behold, Assyria was a cedar in Lebanon With beautiful branches and forest shade, And very high, And its top was among the clouds.
- 'The waters made it grow, the deep made it high. With its rivers it continually extended all around its planting place, And sent out its channels to all the trees of the field.
- 'Therefore its height was loftier than all the trees of the field And its boughs became many and its branches long Because of many waters as it spread them out.

- 十一年三月初一日,耶和华的话临到我说,
- 人子阿,你要向埃及王法老和他的众人说,在威势上谁能与你相比呢。
- 亚述王曾如利巴嫩中的香柏树,枝条荣美,影密如林,极其高大,树尖插入云中。
- 众水使它生长。深水使它长大。所栽之地有江河围流,汊出的水道延到田野诸树。
- 所以它高大超过田野诸树。发旺的时候,枝子繁多,因得大水之力枝条长长。
