Ezekiel 31:14-16
International Standard Version
Ezekiel 31:14-16
International Standard Version
14 As a result, none of its watered trees will grow tall, their tops will never reach to the clouds, and they’ll never grow so high again, because all of them have been appointed[a] to death in the world beneath where human beings go, that is, down to the Pit.’”[b]
Fear at Assyria’s Fall
15 “This is what the Lord God says: ‘On the day that it descended into Sheol,[c] I shut down its water supplies, covered over its deep water, and shut down its rivers. As a result its abundant water sources dried up, and I caused Lebanon to mourn for it. All the trees of the field wilted because of it. 16 I made the nations tremble when they heard that Assyria[d] was falling, descending into Sheol[e] to join those who go down into the Pit.[f] Then all of the trees of Eden in the world below were comforted, including the choicest and best of Lebanon, all of whom were well-watered.

New International Version
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)
