16 I made the nations (A)shake at the sound of its fall, when I (B)cast it down to [a]hell together with those who descend into the Pit; and (C)all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, (D)were comforted in the depths of the earth. 17 They also went down to hell with it, with those slain by the sword; and those who were its strong arm (E)dwelt in its shadows among the nations.

18 (F)‘To which of the trees in Eden will you then be likened in glory and greatness? Yet you shall be brought down with the trees of Eden to the depths of the earth; (G)you shall lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude,’ says the Lord God.”
