Reference for Sukkah 67:4

א"ל אביי ודילמא פרושי קא מפרש קח על מים רבים ומאי ניהו צפצפה א"כ מאי שמו א"ר אבהו אמר הקב"ה אני אמרתי שיהו ישראל לפני כקח על מים רבים ומאי ניהו ערבה והן שמו עצמן כצפצפה שבהרים

Abaye said to him: Is it not possible that [the latter part] is merely an explanation: "He placed it beside many waters," and what was it? A tzaftzefah? If so, what does "he set it" mean? R. Abbahu said: The Holy One, Blessed be He, said: I said that Israel should be before me as something placed beside many waters that is, a willow, but they have made themselves as a tzaftzefah of the mountains
