Ezekiel 31:3 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

Look at how the Assyrian empire used to be — like this massive cedar tree in Lebanon with beautiful branches spreading everywhere, giving shade to everyone below. It grew so tall and strong that its top reached up into the thick canopy with all the other giant trees.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Even the mightiest empires started as something small that grew into giants.
