16 I made the nations (A)quake at 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)under its shade among the nations.

18 “To which among the trees of Eden are you thus [c]equal 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 slain by the sword. (I)So is Pharaoh and all his hordes!”’ declares the Lord God.”
