8. Even the cedar trees in God’s garden were not as big as this tree. Cypress trees did not have as many branches. Plane trees did not have such branches. No tree in God’s garden was as beautiful as this tree.
9. I gave it many branches and made it beautiful. And all the trees in Eden, God’s garden, were jealous!’”
10. So this is what the Lord GOD says: “That tree grew tall. Its top reached up to the clouds. It grew so big that it became proud!
11. So I let a powerful king have that tree. That ruler punished the tree for the bad things it did. I took that tree out of my garden.
