Ezekiel 31:10-18

10‘Therefore thus says the Lord 1God, “Because 2it is high in stature and has set its top among the 3clouds, and its 4heart is haughty in its loftiness, 11therefore I will give it into the hand of a 56despot of the nations; he will thoroughly deal with it. According to its wickedness I have 7driven it away. 128Alien 9tyrants of the nations have cut it down and left it; on the 10mountains and in all the valleys its branches have fallen and its boughs have been broken in all the ravines of the land. And all the peoples of the earth have 11gone down from its shade and left it. 13On its ruin all the 12birds of the heavens will dwell, and all the beasts of the field will be on its fallen branches 14so that all the trees by the waters may not be exalted in their stature, nor set their top among the 13clouds, nor their 14well-watered mighty ones stand erect in their height. For they have all been given over to death, to the 15earth beneath, among the sons of men, with those who go down to the pit.”

15‘Thus says the Lord God, “On the day when it went down to Sheol I 16caused lamentations; I closed the 17deep over it and held back its rivers. And its many waters were stopped up, and I made Lebanon 18mourn for it, and all the trees of the field wilted away on account of it. 16I made the nations 19quake at the sound of its fall when I made it 20go down to Sheol with those who go down to the pit; and all the 21well-watered trees of Eden, the choicest and best of 22Lebanon, were 23comforted in the earth beneath. 17They also 24went down with it to Sheol to those who were 25slain by the sword; and those who were its 26strength lived 27under its shade among the nations.

18“To which among the trees of Eden are you thus 28equal in glory and greatness? Yet you will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the earth beneath; you will lie in the midst of the 29uncircumcised, with those who were slain by the sword. 30So is Pharaoh and all his hordes!”’ declares the Lord God.”
