“Son of man,[a] say this to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and to his people:

“‘You are so great!
    Who can I compare you to?
Assyria was a cedar tree in Lebanon with beautiful branches,
    with forest shade, and very tall.
    Its top was among the clouds!

Rivers flowed around the place
    where the tree was planted.
Only small streams flowed from that tree
    to all the other trees of the field.
