Gen Z: Ezekiel 31
1So, in the eleventh year, third month, first day, the Lord hit me up and said,
2Yo, son of man, talk to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and his crew; who do you think you’re flexing on?
3Check it, the Assyrian was like a dope cedar in Lebanon, with lit branches and a shadow that vibes high.
4The waters made him pop off, the deep put him on blast with rivers flowing all around his plants, sending out little streams to all the trees in the field.
5His height was like next level above all the field trees, his branches were long and rizzed up 'cause of all the water.
6All the birds were nesting in his branches, and the beasts of the field were chilling under his shade, like, all the great nations were vibing there.
7He was straight-up fire in his greatness, with long branches 'cause his roots were by the sick waters.
8No other cedars in God’s garden could hide him; the firs were sus compared to his boughs, and the chestnut trees couldn’t compete with his branches; he was just goated in beauty.
9I made him look fly with all his branches, so all the trees in Eden were low-key jealous of him.
10So, the Lord God said, "You’ve been flexing too hard, thinking you’re the top of the game, but your heart got too big."
11I handed him over to the strong ones of the nations; they’re gonna deal with him for being wicked, no cap.
12And the strangers, the savage nations, cut him down and left him; his branches fell on the mountains and in all the valleys, broken by the rivers, while the people bounced from his shadow.
13On his downfall, all the birds of the sky will chill, and all the beasts of the field will hang on his branches.
14So that none of the trees by the waters think they’re all that, trying to reach high; they’re all gonna get served to death, going down to the depths, just like everyone else.
15The Lord God said, "When he went down to the grave, I caused a major mood; I covered the deep for him, held back the floods, and the great waters stopped; Lebanon was sad for him, and all the trees of the field were feeling it."
16I made the nations shake when he fell, sending him down to the pit with those who go down; all the trees of Eden, the best ones in Lebanon, all that drink water, will be comforted in the depths.
17They also went down with him to the pit, those who were his crew, chilling under his shadow among the nations.
18Who do you think you are in glory and greatness among the trees of Eden? You’re gonna be brought down with them to the depths of the earth, lying with the uncircumcised and those slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and his whole crew, says the Lord God.
