“Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great waters.”
I made it beautiful with abundance of branches, so that all the trees of the garden of God envied it, attributing Assyria's splendor to God's creative action and revealing that other powers envied Assyrian dominance. The assertion that God made Assyria beautiful complicates the question of responsibility: Assyria's greatness was divinely given, not merely humanly achieved.
