Ezekiel 31:15-17
Contemporary English Version
15 On the day this tree dies and goes to the world below, I, the Lord God, will command rivers and streams to mourn its death. Every underground spring of water and every river will stop flowing.[a] The mountains in Lebanon will be covered with darkness as a sign of their sorrow, and all the trees in the forest will wither. 16 This tree will crash to the ground, and I will send it to the world below. Then the nations of the earth will tremble.
The trees from Eden and the choice trees from Lebanon are now in the world of the dead, and they will be comforted when this tree falls. 17 Those people who found protection in its shade will also be sent to the world below, where they will join the dead.[b]

Ezekiel 31:15-17
New International Version
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.(A) 16 I made the nations tremble(B) 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(C) of Eden,(D) the choicest and best of Lebanon, the well-watered trees, were consoled(E) in the earth below.(F) 17 They too, like the great cedar, had gone down to the realm of the dead, to those killed by the sword,(G) along with the armed men who lived in its shade among the nations.
