Context — Egypt Will Fall like Assyria
1In the eleventh year, on the first day of the third month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2“Son of man, say to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his multitude: ‘Who can be compared to your greatness?
3Look at Assyria, a cedar in Lebanon, with beautiful branches that shaded the forest. It towered on high; its top was among the clouds.
4The waters made it grow; the deep springs made it tall, directing their streams all around its base and sending their channels to all the trees of the field. 5Therefore it towered higher than all the trees of the field. Its branches multiplied, and its boughs grew long as it spread them out because of the abundant waters.Cross References

For you have become great and strong; your greatness has grown to reach the sky, and your dominion extends to the ends of the earth.

They cast lots for her dignitaries, and all her nobles were bound in chains. You too will become drunk; you will go into hiding and seek refuge from the enemy.

The gates of your land are wide open to your enemies; fire consumes their bars. Draw your water for the siege; strengthen your fortresses. Work the clay and tread the mortar; repair the brick kiln! There the fire will devour you; the sword will cut you down and consume you like a young locust. Make yourself many like the young locust; make yourself many like the swarming locust! You have multiplied your merchants more than the stars of the sky. The young locust strips the land and flies away. Your guards are like the swarming locust, and your scribes like clouds of locusts that settle on the walls on a cold day. When the sun rises, they fly away, and no one knows where. O king of Assyria, your shepherds slumber; your officers sleep. Your people are scattered on the mountains with no one to gather them. There is no healing for your injury; your wound is severe. All who hear the news of you applaud your downfall, for who has not experienced your constant cruelty? |
Ezekiel 31:3 Summary
[Ezekiel 31:3 describes Assyria as a majestic cedar tree, symbolizing its power and beauty. However, this verse also hints at the dangers of pride and self-exaltation, as seen in Proverbs 16:18. Just like the cedar tree, we can become proud of our accomplishments and forget our dependence on God. As we reflect on this verse, let's remember to stay humble and trust in God's sovereignty, as seen in Psalm 37:3-7 and Romans 11:36.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the cedar tree in Lebanon in Ezekiel 31:3?
The cedar tree in Lebanon represents a powerful and majestic nation, in this case, Assyria, which was known for its strength and beauty, much like the cedar tree was renowned for its grandeur, as seen in Psalm 92:12 and Isaiah 2:13.
How does the description of Assyria as a cedar tree relate to its spiritual condition?
The description of Assyria as a cedar tree that 'towered on high' and had its 'top among the clouds' suggests a sense of pride and self-exaltation, which is a spiritual condition that the Bible warns against, as seen in Proverbs 16:18 and 1 Peter 5:6.
What can we learn from the comparison between Assyria and Pharaoh's Egypt in Ezekiel 31:2-3?
The comparison between Assyria and Pharaoh's Egypt highlights the fleeting nature of human power and greatness, as both nations were known for their strength and majesty, but were also subject to God's judgment, as seen in Isaiah 10:5-19 and Ezekiel 32:1-16.
How does this verse relate to the overall message of Ezekiel?
This verse is part of a larger prophecy against Egypt and other nations, emphasizing God's sovereignty and judgment over all nations, as seen in Ezekiel 25-32, and serves as a reminder of the importance of humility and trust in God, as seen in Ezekiel 28:24-26 and Psalm 37:3-7.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I may be 'towering on high' and needing to humble myself before God?
- How can I apply the lesson of Assyria's pride and fall to my own life and relationships?
- What are some ways that I can cultivate a sense of humility and dependence on God, rather than relying on my own strength and abilities?
- How can I use my own 'beauty' and 'strength' to serve and bless others, rather than simply to elevate myself?
Gill's Exposition on Ezekiel 31:3
Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon,.... Here grew the tallest, most stately, broad and flourishing ones.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 31:3
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. Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 31:3
The Assyrian kingdom and its kings were the greatest the world ever knew before thee, they had longest time of growth, through 1340 or 1360 years, from Belus who was Nimrod, or Belus Assyrius, to Sardanapalus, from 1719 or 1717, or 1718, to 3059, of the world. And they had as fair advantages, as reaching a foresight, and as unwearied diligence to advance the kingdom; yet I bought it down. A cedar; like a cedar; kings and kingdoms oft compared to trees, both in profane and sacred emblems; or like the most goodly cedar for strength and beauty. In Lebanon; a great mountainous tract from east to west, one hundred and twenty five miles in length, encloseth Canaan on the north. With fair branches, which are the beauty, greatness, strength of the tree; so had this mighty kingdom fair provinces, as branches springing from it. With a shadowing shroud: what we render shadowing in the Hebrew may signify either silent and quiet, or framing and modelling, intimating that this kingdom, like a shady tree, gave shelter to the weak, as if framed artificially to this, and it was a silent quiet repose its subjects had; as weak creatures find shelter in a mighty wood, so these. Of an high stature: this kingdom grew to great height, while its branches were so beneficial. Among the thick boughs, or clouds; for so the word will without violence bear, clouds being called so from their thickness; however, the head among the thick boughs speaks the magnificence and greatness of this king, compassed about with tributary kings and princes and mighty men.
Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 31:3
Ezekiel 31:3 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.Ver. 3. Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar.] See Ezekiel 17:3; Ezekiel 17:22-23 Daniel 4:10-11. The cedar is a very tall, fair, shady, leafy, and lively tree. Such was Esarhaddon, King of Assyria, once a most potent monarch, now not the master of a mole hill. Now, therefore (by an argument from the greater to the less), if he so fell through his pride, shalt not thou much more?
Ellicott's Commentary on Ezekiel 31:3
(3) A cedar in Lebanon.—Lebanon is mentioned only because it was the place where the most famous cedars grew in their greatest perfection. Assyria did, indeed, at one time possess Lebanon, but this was never its home or seat of empire. The word “shroud” in the description refers to the thickness of the shade of the branches. Among the thick boughs.—Rather, among the clouds. (See Note on Ezekiel 19:11 .Comp. also Ezekiel 31:10; Ezekiel 31:14.)
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ezekiel 31:3
Verse 3. Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar] Why is the Assyrian introduced here, when the whole chapter concerns Egypt? Bp. Lowth has shown that אשור ארז ashshur erez should be translated the tall cedar, the very stately cedar; hence there is reference to his lofty top; and all the following description belongs to Egypt, not to Assyria. But see on Ezekiel 31:11.
Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 31:3
3. the Assyrian was a cedar] It is evident that the Assyrian has nothing to do here; any comparison of Egypt to Assyria is without motive. Besides Ezekiel 31:3 is repeated in Ezekiel 31:10, and spoken of Egypt (cf. Ezekiel 31:18). The word “asshur” here is the name of a tree, either the same as teasshur (ch. Ezekiel 27:6), or this form should be read. Render: Behold a stately cedar in Lebanon (lit. a teasshur of a cedar); or, behold a sherbin, a cedar in Lebanon—the more general “cedar” being added after the species. a shadowing shrowd] The “shroud,” usually “forest,” must refer to the closely interwoven branches, hardly to the underwood. The phrase is wanting in LXX. the thick boughs] The clouds, so Ezekiel 31:10; Ezekiel 31:14; cf. Ezekiel 19:11.
Barnes' Notes on Ezekiel 31:3
Fifth prophecy against Egypt: a warning to Pharaoh from the fate of the Assyrians.
Whedon's Commentary on Ezekiel 31:3
3. The Assyrian — The Hebrew text and all versions read as A.V.; in which case Egypt would be compared to Assyria, a country as great as itself yet now crushed by Nebuchadnezzar.
