'Fallen' in the Bible
Behold, when the wall has fallen, will you not be asked, ‘Where is the plaster with which you plastered it?’”
‘Now that you are broken by the seasIn the depths of the waters,Your merchandise and all your companyHave fallen in the midst of you.
Alien tyrants of the nations have cut it down and left it; on the mountains and in all the valleys its branches have fallen and its boughs have been broken in all the ravines of the land. And all the peoples of the earth have gone down from its shade and left it.
On its ruin all the birds of the heavens will dwell, and all the beasts of the field will be on its fallen branches
“Assyria is there and all her company; her graves are round about her. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword,
whose graves are set in the remotest parts of the pit and her company is round about her grave. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword, who spread terror in the land of the living.
“Elam is there and all her hordes around her grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who went down uncircumcised to the lower parts of the earth, who instilled their terror in the land of the living and bore their disgrace with those who went down to the pit.
Nor do they lie beside the fallen heroes of the uncircumcised, who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war and whose swords were laid under their heads; but the punishment for their iniquity rested on their bones, though the terror of these heroes was once in the land of the living.
