Yahweh's parable about the cedar continues. ## who were the terror of all the nations ## "who made all the nations afraid" ## cut him off ## "cut the cedar down" ## then abandoned him ## "left the cedar all by himself" ## and his boughs were broken ## "and the foreigners broke the boughs of the cedar" ## boughs ## Boughs are very large branches that grow on trees. Usually, many smaller branches grow on the boughs. ## went out from his shade ## "left the shade of the cedar" ## and left him ## "left the cedar all by himself"
