Ezekiel 31:16-18
Lexham English Bible
16 From the sound of its downfall I caused nations to shake when I made it go down to Sheol, with the people going down to the grave,[a] and so in the world below all of the trees of Eden, the choice and the best of Lebanon, all the well-watered trees[b] were comforted! 17 They also went down with it to Sheol to those who died by the sword,[c] and its army who had lived in its shadow in the midst of nations.
18 To whom could you be compared, whether in glory or in majesty[d] among the trees of Eden? And yet you will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the world below; in the midst of the uncircumcised you will lie with those who died by the sword.[e] That is Pharaoh and his entire[f] crowd!”[g] declares[h] the Lord Yahweh.
