Ezekiel 31:10-17

10‘ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 1GodH3068, “BecauseH3282 H834 2it is highH1361 in statureH6967 and has setH5414 its topH6788 amongH996 the 3cloudsH5645, and its 4heartH3824 is haughtyH7311 in its loftinessH1363, 11therefore I will giveH5414 it into the handH3027 of a 5 6despotH352 of the nationsH1471; he will thoroughlyH6213 dealH6213 with it. According to its wickednessH7562 I have 7drivenH1644 it awayH1644. 12 8AlienH2114 9tyrantsH6184 of the nationsH1471 have cutH3772 it downH3772 and leftH5203 it; on the 10mountainsH2022 and in allH3605 the valleysH1516 its branchesH1808 have fallenH5307 and its boughsH6288 have been brokenH7665 in allH3605 the ravinesH650 of the landH776. And allH3605 the peoplesH5971 of the earthH776 have 11goneH3381 downH3381 from its shadeH6738 and leftH5203 it. 13On its ruinH4658 allH3605 the 12birdsH5775 of the heavensH8064 will dwellH7931, and allH3605 the beastsH2421 of the fieldH7704 will be on its fallen branchesH6288 14soH4616 that allH3605 the treesH6086 by the watersH4325 may not be exaltedH1361 in their statureH6967, norH3808 setH5414 their topH6788 amongH996 the 13cloudsH5645, norH3808 their 14well-wateredH8354 mightyH352 ones standH5975 erect in their heightH6967. For they have allH3605 been givenH5414 over to deathH4194, to the 15earthH776 beneathH8482, amongH8432 the sonsH1121 of menH120, with those who goH3381 downH3381 to the pitH953.”

15‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “On the dayH3117 when it wentH3381 downH3381 to SheolH7585 I 16causedH56 lamentationsH56; I closedH3680 the 17deepH8415 overH5921 it and heldH4513 backH4513 its riversH5104. And its manyH7227 watersH4325 were stoppedH3607 up, and I made LebanonH3844 18mournH6937 for it, and allH3605 the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 wiltedH5968 awayH5968 on accountH5921 of it. 16I made the nationsH1471 19quakeH7493 at the soundH6963 of its fallH4658 when I made it 20goH3381 downH3381 to SheolH7585 with those who goH3381 downH3381 to the pitH953; and allH3605 the 21well-wateredH8354 treesH6086 of EdenH5731, the choicestH4005 and bestH2896 of 22LebanonH3844, were 23comfortedH5162 in the earthH776 beneathH8482. 17They alsoH1571 24wentH3381 downH3381 with it to SheolH7585 to those who were 25slainH2491 by the swordH2719; and those who were its 26strengthH2220 livedH3427 27under its shadeH6738 amongH8432 the nationsH1471.
