Ezekiel 31:14-16

International Standard Version

¹⁴ As a result, none of its watered trees will grow tall, their tops will never reach to the clouds, and they’ll never grow so high again, because all of them have been appointed^[a] to death in the world beneath where human beings go, that is, down to the Pit.’”^[b]

Fear at Assyria’s Fall

¹⁵ “This is what the Lord God says: ‘On the day that it descended into Sheol,^[c] I shut down its water supplies, covered over its deep water, and shut down its rivers. As a result its abundant water sources dried up, and I caused Lebanon to mourn for it. All the trees of the field wilted because of it. ¹⁶ I made the nations tremble when they heard that Assyria^[d] was falling, descending into Sheol^[e] to join those who go down into the Pit.^[f] Then all of the trees of Eden in the world below were comforted, including the choicest and best of Lebanon, all of whom were well-watered.
