Ezekiel 31:13-15

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹³ All the birds in the sky lodged on its fallen trunk, and all the wild animals in the countryside came to its branches. ¹⁴ All this happened so that all the well-watered trees would never again reach such heights or stretch their tops up between the clouds. Nor will the tallest of them remain standing—even though they drink in water—because they have all been handed over to death, to be below the earth, along with all mankind, with those who have descended to the pit.

¹⁵ This is what the Lord God says. When Assyria went down to the grave,^[a] I caused mourning everywhere. I covered the deep because of it. I restrained the rivers of the deep, and the plentiful waters were held back. I dressed Lebanon in black because of it, and all the trees in the countryside dried up because of it.
