Ezekiel 31:14-16
Lexham English Bible
14 This occurred so that all of the trees with abundant water will not become tall, and they will not set their treetop between[a] their thick foliage,[b] and so thatall of the trees that are abundantly watered[c] will not stand up to them[d] in their tallness, for all of them, they have been given over to death, to the world below in the midst of mortals,[e] to the people going down to the grave.”[f]
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. 16 From the sound of its downfall I caused nations to shake when I made it go down to Sheol, with the people going down to the grave,[g] and so in the world below all of the trees of Eden, the choice and the best of Lebanon, all the well-watered trees[h] were comforted!
