Ezekiel 31:9-11

Common English Bible

⁹ As for its beauty—I made it so, with its abundant foliage.
All the trees of Eden envied it,
    all that were in God’s garden.

Consider the fate of those who tower high!
When it allowed its branches to reach up among the clouds,
    it became arrogant.
¹¹ So I handed it over
to the most powerful nation,
    who continually acted treacherously against it.
I banished it!
