Ezekiel 31:9-18

9I madeH6213 it fair by the multitudeH7230 of its branchesH1808, so that all the treesH6086 of EdenH5731, that were in the gardenH1588 of GodH430, envied it.

10ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saidH559 the LordH136 Jehovah: Because thou art exaltedH7311 in statureH6967, and he hath setH5414 his top among the thick boughs, and his heartH3824 is liftedH7311 up in his heightH6967; 11I will even deliver him into the handH3027 of the mighty one of the nationsH1471; he shall surely deal with him; I have drivenH1644 him out for his wickednessH7562. 12And strangersH2114, the terrible of the nationsH1471, have cutH3772 him off, and have leftH5203 him: upon the mountainsH2022 and in all the valleysH1516 his branchesH1808 are fallenH5307, and his boughs are brokenH7665 by all the watercourses of the landH776; and all the peoplesH5971 of the earthH776 are goneH3381 downH3381 from his shadowH6738, and have leftH5203 him. 13Upon his ruin all the birdsH5775 of the heavensH8064 shall dwellH7931, and all the beasts of the fieldH7704 shall beH1961 upon his branchesH6288; 14to the end that none of all the treesH6086 by the watersH4325 exalt themselves in their statureH6967, neither setH5414 their top among the thick boughs, nor that their mighty ones standH5975 up in their heightH6967, even all that drinkH8354 waterH4325: for they are all delivered unto deathH4194, to the nether partsH8482 of the earthH776, in the midstH8432 of the children of menH120, with them that goH3381 down to the pitH953.

15ThusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah: In the dayH3117 when he wentH3381 downH3381 to SheolH7585 I caused a mourningH6937: I coveredH3680 the deepH8415 for him, and I restrainedH3607 the riversH5104 thereof; and the greatH7227 watersH4325 were stayed; and I caused LebanonH3844 to mournH56 for him, and all the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 fainted for him. 16I made the nationsH1471 to shakeH7493 at the soundH6963 of his fall, when I cast him downH3381 to SheolH7585 with them that descend into the pitH953; and all the treesH6086 of EdenH5731, the choice and bestH2896 of LebanonH3844, all that drinkH8354 waterH4325, were comfortedH5162 in the nether partsH8482 of the earthH776. 17They alsoH1571 wentH3381 downH3381 into SheolH7585 with him unto them that are slainH2491 by the swordH2719; yea, they that were his armH2220, that dweltH3427 under his shadowH6738 in the midstH8432 of the nationsH1471.

18To whom art thou thusH3602 like in gloryH3519 and in greatnessH1433 among the treesH6086 of EdenH5731? yet shalt thou be broughtH3381 downH3381 with the treesH6086 of EdenH5731 unto the nether partsH8482 of the earthH776: thou shalt lieH7901 in the midstH8432 of the uncircumcisedH6189, with them that are slainH2491 by the swordH2719. This is PharaohH6547 and all his multitudeH1995, saith the LordH136 Jehovah.
