THE MESSAGE
In the eleventh year, on the first day of the third month, God 's Message came to me: "Son of man, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt, that pompous old goat: "‘Who do you, astride the world, think you really are? Look! Assyria was a Big Tree, huge as a Lebanon cedar, beautiful limbs offering cool shade, Skyscraper high, piercing the clouds. The waters gave it drink, the primordial deep lifted it high, Gushing out rivers around the place where it was planted, And then branching out in streams to all the trees in the forest. It was immense, dwarfing all the trees in the forest— Thick boughs, long limbs, roots delving deep into earth's waters. All the birds of the air nested in its boughs. All the wild animals gave birth under its branches. All the mighty nations lived in its shade. It was stunning in its majesty— the reach of its branches! the depth of its water-seeking roots! Not a cedar in God's garden came close to it. No pine tree was anything like it. Mighty oaks looked like bushes growing alongside it. Not a tree in God's garden was in the same class of beauty. I made it beautiful, a work of art in limbs and leaves, The envy of every tree in Eden, every last tree in God's garden.'"

His toppe reached vnto the cloudes. 4 The waters made him greate, and the depe set him vp an hye. Roude aboute the rotes of him rane there floudes of water, he sent out his litle ryuers vnto all the trees of the felde. 5 Therfore was he hyer the all the trees of the felde, and thorow ye multitude of waters that he sent fro him, he optayned many and longe braunches. 6 All foules of the ayre made their nestes in his brauches, vnder his bowes gedred all the beastes of ye felde, & vnder his shadow dwelt all people. 7 Fayre and beutifull was he in his greatnesse, and in the length of his braunches, for his rote stode besyde greate waters: 8 no Cedre tre might hyde him. In the pleasaut garden of God, there was no Fyrre tre like his brauches, the playne trees were not like ye bowes of him. All the trees in the garden off God might not be copared vnto him in his beuty: 9 so fayre and goodly had I made him with the multitude of his braunches: In so moch, yt all the trees in the pleasaut garde of God, had envye at hi.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it came to pass in the eleventh year,.... Of Zedekiah's reign, and Jeconiah's captivity:
in the third month, in the first day of the month: the month Sivan, which began on the twentieth of our May, and answers to part of May, and part of June; this was about seven weeks after the former prophecy, and about five weeks before the destruction of Jerusalem; according to Bishop Usher n, this was on the nineteenth of June, on the first day of the week, in 3416 A.M. or before Christ 588:
that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying; as follows:
n Annales Vet. Test. A. M. 3416.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
In the third month - More than a month before Jerusalem was taken (compare Jeremiah 39:2).
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XXXI
This very beautiful chapter relates also to Egypt. The prophet
describes to Pharaoh the fall of the king of Nineveh, (see the
books of Nahum, Jonah, and Zephaniah,) under the image of a
fair cedar of Lebanon, once exceedingly tall, flourishing, and
majestic, but now cut down and withered, with its broken
branches strewed around, 1-17.
He then concludes with bringing the matter home to the king of
Egypt, by telling him that this was a picture of his
approaching fate, 18.
The beautiful cedar of Lebanon, remarkable for its loftiness,
and in the most flourishing condition, but afterwards cut down
and deserted, gives a very lately painting of the great glory
and dreadful catastrophe of both the Assyrian and Egyptian
monarchies. The manner in which the prophet has embellished his
subject is deeply interesting; the colouring is of that kind
which the mind will always contemplate with pleasure.
NOTES ON CHAP. XXXI
