"Son of man, say to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and to his people; Whom are you like in your great power?"
— Ezekiel 31:2, Bible in Basic English
“Son of man, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude: Whom are you like in your greatness?”
Now in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Son of man, say to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and to his people; Whom are you like in your great power?
See, a pine-tree with beautiful branches and thick growth, giving shade and very tall; and its top was among the clouds.
It got strength from the waters and the deep made it tall: its streams went round about its planted land and it sent out its waterways to all the trees of the field.
In this way it became taller than all the trees of the field; and its branches were increased and its arms became long because of the great waters.
