1 In year 11, month 3, day 1, God spoke to Ezekiel. ✨ 2 God said, Ezekiel, talk to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and his many people. Ask, Who are you like, you who think you are so big? ️ 3 Long ago, Assyria was like a big cedar tree in a hill land named Lebanon. It was very tall, with big branches and cool shade, and its top touched the clouds. ⛰️☁️ 4 Water made the tree grow tall. Rivers and streams fed it well. 5 The tree grew taller than all the other trees. Its branches were many, because it had lots of water. ⬆️ 6 Birds made nests in its branches. Animals had babies under it. Many people sat in its shade. ♂️♀️ 7 The tree looked so good and strong. Its roots went down to the water. 8 No tree in God’s garden was like this tree. It was the best one. ⭐ 9 God made the tree very pretty. Other trees wanted to be like it. ✨ 10 So God said, The tree got proud and loved being so high. ️ 11 God will give the tree to a strong man from a far land. He will bring it down. God sent it away for its bad way. ⬇️ 12 Men from a far land cut the tree down. Its branches fell on the hills and in the low places. All the people ran away from its shade. ⛰️♂️♀️ 13 Now birds sit on the fallen trunk, and animals rest on the fallen branches. 14 This is to show: do not be too proud. All big trees will one day go down to the deep pit, like people do. ⬇️️ 15 On the day the tree went down to the pit, God made the water stop. The hill land was dark and sad. Other trees were weak. ✋ 16 Many lands shook with fear when the tree fell. The trees in the deep place felt better there. ️ 17 Friends of the tree went down too, to the deep place. Many were killed by the sword. ♂️⬇️️⚔️ 18 So, Pharaoh, who are you like now? You will go down too, with the other trees. You will lie with those who were killed. ⬇️️⚔️
