Ezekiel 31:15-17

New Living Translation

¹⁵ “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: When Assyria went down to the grave,^[a] I made the deep springs mourn. I stopped its rivers and dried up its abundant water. I clothed Lebanon in black and caused the trees of the field to wilt. ¹⁶ I made the nations shake with fear at the sound of its fall, for I sent it down to the grave with all the others who descend to the pit. And all the other proud trees of Eden, the most beautiful and the best of Lebanon, the ones whose roots went deep into the water, took comfort to find it there with them in the depths of the earth. ¹⁷ Its allies, too, were all destroyed and had passed away. They had gone down to the grave—all those nations that had lived in its shade.
