Commentary on Ezekiel 31:5
The cedar grew 'higher than all the trees of the field'—Assyria surpassed all nations in power and glory. The source: abundant waters (God's provision). Yet height and prosperity contain seeds of pride. The 'boughs multiplied' and 'branches became long' depict expansionism and imperialism. Unchecked growth without accountability to God leads to overreach and fall.
