Ezekiel 31:15-17

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

¹⁵ ‘ “This is what the Lord God says: I caused grieving on the day that the cedar went down to Sheol.^(A) I closed off the underground deep because of it:^[a] 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,^(B) the choice and best of Lebanon, all the well-watered trees, were comforted^(C) in the underworld. ¹⁷ They too descended with it to Sheol, to those slain by the sword. As its allies^[b][c] they had lived in its shade among the nations.
