Commentary on Ezekiel 31:8
Even 'the cedars in the garden of God' couldn't match Assyria—she surpassed Eden's trees in glory. This hyperbolic comparison emphasizes unprecedented greatness, yet makes judgment more dramatic. Those given much are held more accountable (Luke 12:48). Assyria's unmatched glory magnified her unmatched fall. Privilege increases responsibility.
