Ezekiel 31:14-16
Christian Standard Bible
14 This happened so that no trees planted beside water would become great in height and set their tops among the clouds, and so that no other well-watered trees would reach them in height. For they have all been consigned to death, to the underworld, among the people[a] who descend to the Pit.(A)
15 “‘This is what the Lord God says: I caused grieving on the day the cedar went down to Sheol.(B) I closed off the underground deep because of it:[b] I held back the rivers of the deep, and its abundant water was restrained. I made Lebanon mourn on account of it, and all the trees of the field fainted because of it. 16 I made the nations quake at the sound of its downfall, when I threw it down to Sheol to be with those who descend to the Pit. Then all the trees of Eden,(C) the choice and best of Lebanon, all the well-watered trees, were comforted(D) in the underworld.

Ezekiel 31:14-16
New International Version
14 Therefore no other trees by the waters are ever to tower proudly on high, lifting their tops above the thick foliage. No other trees so well-watered are ever to reach such a height; they are all destined(A) for death,(B) for the earth below, among mortals who go down to the realm of the dead.(C)
15 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: On the day it was brought down to the realm of the dead I covered the deep springs with mourning for it; I held back its streams, and its abundant waters were restrained. Because of it I clothed Lebanon with gloom, and all the trees of the field withered away.(D) 16 I made the nations tremble(E) at the sound of its fall when I brought it down to the realm of the dead to be with those who go down to the pit. Then all the trees(F) of Eden,(G) the choicest and best of Lebanon, the well-watered trees, were consoled(H) in the earth below.(I)
