Ezekiel 31:14-16

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁴ This happened so that no trees planted beside water would become great in height and set their tops among the clouds,^[a] and so that no other well-watered trees would reach them in height. For they have all been consigned to death, to the underworld, among the people who descend to the Pit.^(A)

¹⁵ “This is what the Lord God says: I caused grieving on the day the cedar went down to Sheol.^(B) I closed off the underground deep because of it:^[b] I held back the rivers of the deep, and its abundant waters were 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,^(C) all the well-watered trees, the choice and best of Lebanon, were comforted^(D) in the underworld.
