Ezekiel 31:16-18

Good News Translation

¹⁶ When I send it down to the world of the dead, the noise of its downfall will shake the nations. All the trees of Eden and all the choice, well-watered trees of Lebanon who have gone to the world below will be pleased at its downfall. ¹⁷ They will go with it to the world of the dead to join those that have already fallen. And all who live under its shadow will be scattered among the nations.^[a]

¹⁸ “The tree is the king of Egypt and all his people. Not even the trees in Eden were so tall and impressive. But now, like the trees of Eden, it will go down to the world of the dead and join the ungodly and those killed in battle. I have spoken,” says the Sovereign Lord.
