Context Reading
8The cedars in the garden of God could not hide it.The cypress trees were not like its branches.The pine trees were not like its branches;nor was any tree in the garden of God like it in its beauty. 9I made it beautiful by the multitude of its branches,so that all the trees of Eden,that were in the garden of God, envied it.’ 10“Therefore thus said the Lord Yahweh: ‘Because he is exalted in stature, and he has set his top among the thick branches, and his heart is lifted up in his height, 11I will deliver him into the hand of the mighty one of the nations. He will surely deal with him. I have driven him out for his wickedness. 12Foreigners, the tyrants of the nations, have cut him off and have left him. His branches have fallen on the mountains and in all the valleys, and his boughs are broken by all the watercourses of the land. All the peoples of the earth have gone down from his shadow and have left him.
