Ezekiel 31:11-16

11I will handH5414H3027 it overH5414 to a 12rulerH352 of the nationsH1471; he will thoroughlyH6213 dealH6213 with it. In accordance with its wickednessH7562 I have 3drivenH1644 it outH1644. 124ForeignH2114 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 branchesH6288 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. 13AllH3605 the 8birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 will nestH7931 on its fallenH4658 trunkH4658, and allH3605 the animalsH2421 of the fieldH7704 will 9restH1961 on its fallen branchesH6288, 14soH4616 thatH4616 allH3605 the treesH6086 by the watersH4325 will not be exaltedH1361 in their statureH6967, norH3808 putH5414 their topsH6788 amongH996 the 10cloudsH5645, norH3808 will anyH3605 of their 11well-wateredH8354 mightyH352 ones standH5975 straight in their heightH6967. For they have allH3605 been turnedH5414 overH5414 to deathH4194, to the 12earthH776 beneathH8482, amongH8432 13mankindH1121H120, 14with those who goH3381 downH3381 to the pitH953.”

15‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: “On the dayH3117 when it wentH3381 downH3381 to SheolH7585 I 15causedH56 mourningH56; I closedH3680 the 16deepH8415 overH5921 it and heldH4513 backH4513 its riversH5104. And its manyH7227 watersH4325 were stoppedH3607 upH3607, and I made LebanonH3844 mournH6937 for it, and allH3605 the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 wiltedH5968 awayH5968 onH5921 accountH5921 ofH5921 it. 16I made the nationsH1471 17quakeH7493 from the soundH6963 of its fallH4658 when I made it 18goH3381 downH3381 to SheolH7585 with those who goH3381 downH3381 to the pitH953; and allH3605 the 19well-wateredH8354 treesH6086 of EdenH5731, the choicestH4005 and bestH2896 of 20LebanonH3844, were 21comfortedH5162 in the earthH776 beneathH8482.
