Ezekiel 31:14–18

^31:14For this reason no watered trees will grow so tall; their tops will not reach into the clouds, nor will the well-watered ones grow that high.¹³ For all of them have been appointed to die in the lower parts of the earth;¹⁴ they will be among mere mortals,¹⁵ with those who descend to the pit.

^31:15“ ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: On the day it¹⁶ went down to Sheol I caused observers to lament.¹⁷ I covered it with the deep and held back its rivers; its plentiful water was restrained. I clothed Lebanon in black for it, and all the trees of the field wilted because of it. ^31:16I made the nations shake at the sound of its fall, when I threw it down to Sheol, along with those who descend to the pit.¹⁸ Then all the trees of Eden, the choicest and the best of Lebanon, all that were well-watered, were comforted in the earth below. ^31:17Those who lived in its shade, its allies¹⁹ among the nations, also went down with it to Sheol, to those killed by the sword. ^31:18Which of the trees of Eden was like you in majesty and loftiness? You will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the lower parts of the earth; you will lie among the uncircumcised, with those killed by the sword! This is what will happen to Pharaoh and all his hordes, declares the sovereign Lord.’ ”
