Ezekiel 31:11-16
11I will hand it over to a 12ruler of the nations; he will thoroughly deal with it. In accordance with its wickedness I have 3driven it out. 124Foreign 5tyrants of the nations have cut it down and left it; on the 6mountains 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 7gone down from its shade and left it. 13All the 8birds of the sky will nest on its fallen trunk, and all the animals of the field will 9rest 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 10clouds, nor will any of their 11well-watered mighty ones stand straight in their height. For they have all been turned over to death, to the 12earth beneath, among 13mankind, 14with those who go down to the pit.”
15‘This is what the Lord God says: “On the day when it went down to Sheol I 15caused mourning; I closed the 16deep over it and held back its rivers. And its many waters were stopped up, and I made Lebanon mourn for it, and all the trees of the field wilted away on account of it. 16I made the nations 17quake from the sound of its fall when I made it 18go down to Sheol with those who go down to the pit; and all the 19well-watered trees of Eden, the choicest and best of 20Lebanon, were 21comforted in the earth beneath.
