Ezekiel 31:13-15

Common English Bible

¹⁴ All this has happened so that no other well-watered tree would tower high or allow its branches to reach among the clouds. Nor would their leaders achieve the towering stature of such well-watered trees. Certainly, all of them are consigned to death, to the world below,^[a] among human beings who go down to the pit.

¹⁵ The Lord God proclaims: On the day that it went down to the underworld,^[b] I caused mourning. I blocked off the deep sea against it. I dried up its rivers and restrained the mighty waters. I made Lebanon go into mourning for it, and all the trees of the field languished on its account.
