Ezekiel 31:15-16

15‘This is what the Lord God says: “On the day when it went down to Sheol I 1caused mourning; I closed the 2deep 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 3quake from the sound of its fall when I made it 4go down to Sheol with those who go down to the pit; and all the 5well-watered trees of Eden, the choicest and best of 6Lebanon, were 7comforted in the earth beneath.
