16 I made the nations (A)quake from the sound of its fall when I made it (B)go down to Sheol with those who go down to the pit; and all the [a]well-watered trees of Eden, the choicest and best of (C)Lebanon, were (D)comforted in the earth beneath. 17 They also (E)went down with it to Sheol to those who were (F)slain by the sword; and those who were its [b]strength lived (G)in its shade among the nations.

18 “To which among the trees of Eden are you so alike in glory and greatness? Yet you will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the earth beneath; you will lie in the midst of the (H)uncircumcised with those who were killed by the sword. (I)This is Pharaoh and all his hordes!”’ declares the Lord God.”
