Ezekiel 31:11-16
11therefore I will give it into the hand of a 12despot of the nations; he will thoroughly deal with it. According to its wickedness I have 3driven it away. 124Alien 5tyrants of the nations have cut it down and left it; on the 6mountains 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 7gone down from its shade and left it. 13On its ruin all the 8birds 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 9clouds, nor their 10well-watered mighty ones stand erect in their height. For they have all been given over to death, to the 11earth 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 12caused lamentations; I closed the 13deep over it and held back its rivers. And its many waters were stopped up, and I made Lebanon 14mourn for it, and all the trees of the field wilted away on account of it. 16I made the nations 15quake at the sound of its fall when I made it 16go down to Sheol with those who go down to the pit; and all the 17well-watered trees of Eden, the choicest and best of 18Lebanon, were 19comforted in the earth beneath.
