14 This happened so that no trees planted beside water would become great in height and set their tops among the clouds, 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[a] 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 water was 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) the choice and best of Lebanon, all the well-watered trees, were comforted(D) in the underworld.
