Ezekiel 31:13-15

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹³ All the fowls of the air dwelt upon his ruins, and all the beasts of the field were among his branches.

¹⁴ For which cause none of the trees by the waters shall exalt themselves for their height: nor shoot up their tops among the thick branches and leaves, neither shall any of them that are watered stand up in their height: for they are all delivered unto death to the lowest parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down into the pit.

¹⁵ Thus saith the Lord God: In the day when he went down to hell, I brought in mourning, I covered him with the deep: and I withheld its rivers, and restrained the many waters: Libanus grieved for him, and all the trees of the field trembled.
