Ezekiel 31:11-17

11therefore I will giveH5414 it into the handH3027 of a 1 2despotH352 of the nationsH1471; he will thoroughlyH6213 dealH6213 with it. According to its wickednessH7562 I have 3drivenH1644 it awayH1644. 12 4AlienH2114 5tyrantsH6184 of the nationsH1471 have cutH3772 it downH3772 and leftH5203 it; on the 6mountainsH2022 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 7goneH3381 downH3381 from its shadeH6738 and leftH5203 it. 13On its ruinH4658 allH3605 the 8birdsH5775 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 9cloudsH5645, norH3808 their 10well-wateredH8354 mightyH352 ones standH5975 erect in their heightH6967. For they have allH3605 been givenH5414 over to deathH4194, to the 11earthH776 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 12causedH56 lamentationsH56; I closedH3680 the 13deepH8415 overH5921 it and heldH4513 backH4513 its riversH5104. And its manyH7227 watersH4325 were stoppedH3607 up, and I made LebanonH3844 14mournH6937 for it, and allH3605 the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 wiltedH5968 awayH5968 on accountH5921 of it. 16I made the nationsH1471 15quakeH7493 at the soundH6963 of its fallH4658 when I made it 16goH3381 downH3381 to SheolH7585 with those who goH3381 downH3381 to the pitH953; and allH3605 the 17well-wateredH8354 treesH6086 of EdenH5731, the choicestH4005 and bestH2896 of 18LebanonH3844, were 19comfortedH5162 in the earthH776 beneathH8482. 17They alsoH1571 20wentH3381 downH3381 with it to SheolH7585 to those who were 21slainH2491 by the swordH2719; and those who were its 22strengthH2220 livedH3427 23under its shadeH6738 amongH8432 the nationsH1471.
