⁸ The Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east,^(A) and there he placed the man he had formed.

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,^(A) the choice and best of Lebanon, all the well-watered trees, were comforted^(B) in the underworld.

¹⁸ “‘Who then are you like in glory and greatness among Eden’s trees? You also will be brought down to the underworld to be with the trees of Eden. You will lie among the uncircumcised with those slain by the sword.^(A) This is Pharaoh and all his hordes. This is the declaration of the Lord God.’”

³⁵ They will say, “This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden.^(A) The cities that were once ruined, desolate, and demolished are now fortified and inhabited.”
