Ezekiel 31:12-14

Contemporary English Version

¹² Cruel foreigners will chop it down and leave it wherever it falls. Branches and broken limbs will be scattered over the mountains and in the valleys. The people living in the shade of those branches will go somewhere else. ¹³ Birds will then nest on the stump of the fallen tree, and wild animals will trample its branches.

¹⁴ Never again will any tree dare to grow as tall as this tree, no matter how much water it has. Every tree must die, just as humans die and go down to the world of the dead.
