Ezekiel 31:14-17

14soH4616 that allH3605 the treesH6086 by the watersH4325 may not be exaltedH1361 in their statureH6967, norH3808 setH5414 their topH6788 amongH996 the 1cloudsH5645, norH3808 their 2well-wateredH8354 mightyH352 ones standH5975 erect in their heightH6967. For they have allH3605 been givenH5414 over to deathH4194, to the 3earthH776 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 4causedH56 lamentationsH56; I closedH3680 the 5deepH8415 overH5921 it and heldH4513 backH4513 its riversH5104. And its manyH7227 watersH4325 were stoppedH3607 up, and I made LebanonH3844 6mournH6937 for it, and allH3605 the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 wiltedH5968 awayH5968 on accountH5921 of it. 16I made the nationsH1471 7quakeH7493 at the soundH6963 of its fallH4658 when I made it 8goH3381 downH3381 to SheolH7585 with those who goH3381 downH3381 to the pitH953; and allH3605 the 9well-wateredH8354 treesH6086 of EdenH5731, the choicestH4005 and bestH2896 of 10LebanonH3844, were 11comfortedH5162 in the earthH776 beneathH8482. 17They alsoH1571 12wentH3381 downH3381 with it to SheolH7585 to those who were 13slainH2491 by the swordH2719; and those who were its 14strengthH2220 livedH3427 15under its shadeH6738 amongH8432 the nationsH1471.
