에스겔 31:7의 미드라쉬
וַיְּיִ֣ף בְּגָדְל֔וֹ בְּאֹ֖רֶךְ דָּֽלִיּוֹתָ֑יו כִּֽי־הָיָ֥ה שָׁרְשׁ֖וֹ אֶל־מַ֥יִם רַבִּֽים׃
그 뿌리가 큰 물가에 있으므로 그 나무가 크고 가지가 길어 모양이 아름다우매
Midrash Tanchuma
Sennacherib erected his palace in Lebanon with certain protective devices, between two lofty mountains, but wells sprang forth out of the mountains, tore the palace from its foundations, and bore it away, as it is said: Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowy shroud, and of a high stature, and its top was among the thick boughs. The water nourished it; the deep made it grow (Ezek. 31:3–4). And it says also: Thus was it fair in its greatness, in the length of its branches; for its root was by many waters (ibid., v. 7), and it states: I have digged and drunk waters, and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of Egypt (Isa. 37:25). What was his ultimate end? Thus said the Lord God: in the day when he went down to the netherworld I caused the deep to mourn and cover itself for him (Ezek. 31:15).
