Ezekiel 31:15-17

International Standard Version

Fear at Assyria’s Fall

¹⁵ “This is what the Lord God says: ‘On the day that it descended into Sheol,^[a] I shut down its water supplies, covered over its deep water, and shut down its rivers. As a result its abundant water sources dried up, and I caused Lebanon to mourn for it. All the trees of the field wilted because of it. ¹⁶ I made the nations tremble when they heard that Assyria^[b] was falling, descending into Sheol^[c] to join those who go down into the Pit.^[d] Then all of the trees of Eden in the world below were comforted, including the choicest and best of Lebanon, all of whom were well-watered. ¹⁷ They also went down with it into Sheol,^[e] to those who had been killed violently^[f] and to those who had trusted in its strength by living in its shadow among the nations.
