Ezekiel 31:14-16

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

¹⁴ This happened so that no trees planted beside water would become great in height and set their tops among the clouds, and so that no other well-watered trees would reach them in height. For they have all been consigned to death, to the underworld, among the people^[a] who descend to the Pit.^(A)

¹⁵ ‘ “This is what the Lord God says: I caused grieving on the day that the cedar went down to Sheol.^(B) I closed off the underground deep because of it:^[b] I held back the rivers of the deep, and its abundant water was restrained. I made Lebanon mourn on account of it, and all the trees of the field fainted because of it. ¹⁶ I made the nations quake at the sound of its downfall, when I threw it down to Sheol to be with those who descend to the Pit. Then all the trees of Eden,^(C) the choice and best of Lebanon, all the well-watered trees, were comforted^(D) in the underworld.
