Ezekiel 31:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell, with them that descend into the pit, and all the excellent trees of Eden, and the best of Lebanon: even all that are nourished with waters, shall [a]be comforted in the nether parts of the earth.
17 They also went down to hell with him unto them that were slain with the sword, and his arm, and they that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen.
18 To whom [b]art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet thou shalt be cast down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt sleep in the midst of the [c]uncircumcised, with them that be slain by the sword: this is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord God.
