Ezekiel 31:5 in Context — Ezekiel 31

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.

6 Tous les oiseaux du ciel nichaient dans ses branches, Toutes les bêtes des champs faisaient leurs petits sous ses rameaux, Et de nombreuses nations habitaient toutes à son ombre.

7 Il était beau par sa grandeur, par l’étendue de ses branches, Car ses racines plongeaient dans des eaux abondantes.
