Ezekiel 31:15-17
15‘Thus says the Lord God, “On the day when it went down to Sheol I 1caused lamentations; I closed the 2deep over it and held back its rivers. And its many waters were stopped up, and I made Lebanon 3mourn for it, and all the trees of the field wilted away on account of it. 16I made the nations 4quake at the sound of its fall when I made it 5go down to Sheol with those who go down to the pit; and all the 6well-watered trees of Eden, the choicest and best of 7Lebanon, were 8comforted in the earth beneath. 17They also 9went down with it to Sheol to those who were 10slain by the sword; and those who were its 11strength lived 12under its shade among the nations.
