Commentary on Ezekiel 31:4
The 'waters' and 'rivers' represent resources, wealth, and prosperity that caused Assyria's growth. God provided these blessings, not Assyria's inherent greatness. Attributing God-given resources to human achievement exemplifies pride. The cedar's height and reach depended entirely on water supply—Assyria's greatness depended entirely on God's providence, though they didn't acknowledge it.
