Ezekiel 31:10–14

¹⁰“Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Because you have increased in height, and it set its top among the thick boughs, and ^hits heart was ⁴lifted up in its height, ¹¹therefore I will deliver it into the hand of the ⁱmighty one of the nations, and he shall surely deal with it; I have driven it out for its wickedness. ¹²And aliens, ^jthe most terrible of the nations, have cut it down and left it; its branches have fallen ^kon the mountains and in all the valleys; its boughs lie ^lbroken by all the rivers of the land; and all the peoples of the earth have gone from under its shadow and left it.

¹³‘On ^mits ruin will remain all the birds of the heavens,

And all the beasts of the field will come to its branches—

¹⁴‘So that no trees by the waters may ever again exalt themselves for their height, nor set their tops among the thick boughs, that no tree which drinks water may ever be high enough to reach up to them.

‘For ⁿthey have all been delivered to death,

^oTo the depths of the earth,

Among the children of men who go down to the Pit.’
