Ezekiel 31:15-17
Holman Christian Standard Bible
15 “This is what the Lord God says: I caused grieving on the day the cedar went down to Sheol.(A) I closed off the underground deep because of it:[a] I held back the rivers of the deep, and its abundant waters were 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,(B) all the well-watered trees, the choice and best of Lebanon, were comforted(C) in the underworld. 17 They too descended with it to Sheol, to those slain by the sword. As its allies[b][c] they had lived in its shade among the nations.
