Ezekiel 31:13-15
Lexham English Bible
13 On its fallen trunk all the birds[a] of the heaven[b] now dwell, and all the animals of the field were on its branches. 14 This occurred so that all of the trees with abundant water will not become tall, and they will not set their treetop between[c] their thick foliage,[d] and so thatall of the trees that are abundantly watered[e] will not stand up to them[f] in their tallness, for all of them, they have been given over to death, to the world below in the midst of mortals,[g] to the people going down to the grave.”[h]
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.
