Ezekiel 31:10-12

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁰ “Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because it^[a] towered high and set its top among the clouds,^[b] and its heart was proud of its height, ¹¹ I will give it into the hand of a mighty one of the nations; he shall surely deal with it as its wickedness deserves. I have cast it out. ¹² Foreigners, the most terrible of the nations, will cut it down and leave it. On the mountains and in all the valleys its branches will fall, and its boughs will lie broken in all the watercourses of the land; and all the peoples of the earth will go from its shadow and leave it.
