Ezekiel 31:14-18
14 This happened so that no trees planted beside water would become great in height and set their tops among the clouds,(a) 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 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 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,(C) all the well-watered trees, the choice and best of Lebanon, were comforted(D) in the underworld.
17 They too descended with it to Sheol, to those slain by the sword. As its allies(c)(d) they had lived in its shade among the nations.
