| | * In {{Bible ref|book=Ezekiel|chap=31}} the entire chapter speaks of Satan as being [[Pharaoh]], who was a mighty Cedar in Lebanon, how his height was exalted above all the other Cedars of Lebanon (v. 5), and how no other trees were like him in beauty (v. 8) so that they envied him (v. 9). Because of this, he lifted himself up in height and became proud (v. 10) so that God delivered him to the mighty of the gentiles (v. 11).
