Ezekiel 31:3 in Context — Ezekiel 31

1 La onzième année, le premier jour du troisième mois, la parole de l’Éternel me fut adressée, en ces mots:

2 Fils de l’homme, dis à Pharaon, roi d’Égypte, et à sa multitude: A qui ressembles-tu dans ta grandeur?

3 Voici, l’Assyrie était un cèdre du Liban; Ses branches étaient belles, Son feuillage était touffu, sa tige élevée, Et sa cime s’élançait au milieu d’épais rameaux.

4 Les eaux l’avaient fait croître, L’abîme l’avait fait pousser en hauteur; Des fleuves coulaient autour du lieu où il était planté, Et envoyaient leurs canaux à tous les arbres des champs.

5 C’est pourquoi sa tige s’élevait au-dessus de tous les arbres des champs, Ses branches avaient multiplié, ses rameaux s’étendaient, Par l’abondance des eaux qui l’avaient fait pousser.
