Ezekiel 31:15-17
Lexham English Bible
15 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “On the day of its going down to Sheol, I caused mourning; I covered over it with the deep, and I withheld its rivers, and many waters were restrained, and I brought gloom over it; Lebanon and all of the trees of the field, they had fainted because of it. 16 From the sound of its downfall I caused nations to shake when I made it go down to Sheol, with the people going down to the grave,[a] and so in the world below all of the trees of Eden, the choice and the best of Lebanon, all the well-watered trees[b] were comforted! 17 They also went down with it to Sheol to those who died by the sword,[c] and its army who had lived in its shadow in the midst of nations.
