Ezekiel 31:10-14

10‘Therefore this is what the Lord 1God says: “Because 2it is tall in stature and has put its top among the 3clouds, and its 4heart is haughty in its loftiness, 11I will hand it over to a 56ruler of the nations; he will thoroughly deal with it. In accordance with its wickedness I have 7driven it out. 128Foreign 9tyrants of the nations have cut it down and left it; on the 10mountains and in all the valleys its branches have fallen, and its branches have been broken in all the ravines of the land. And all the peoples of the earth have 11gone down from its shade and left it. 13All the 12birds of the sky will nest on its fallen trunk, and all the animals of the field will 13rest on its fallen branches, 14so that all the trees by the waters will not be exalted in their stature, nor put their tops among the 14clouds, nor will any of their 15well-watered mighty ones stand straight in their height. For they have all been turned over to death, to the 16earth beneath, among 17mankind, 18with those who go down to the pit.”
