Ezekiel 31:10-18

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁰ Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because it^[a] towered high and set its top among the clouds and its heart was proud of its height,^{(A) 11} I gave it into the hand of the prince of the nations; he has dealt with it as its wickedness deserves. I have cast it out.^{(B) 12} Foreigners from the most terrible 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 lie broken in all the watercourses of the land, and all the peoples of the earth went away from its shade and left it.^(C)

¹⁴ All this is in order that no trees by the waters may grow to lofty height or set their tops among the clouds and that no trees that drink water may reach up to them in height.

¹⁵ Thus says the Lord God: On the day it went down to Sheol I closed the deep over it and covered it; I restrained its rivers, and its mighty waters were checked. I clothed Lebanon in gloom for it, and all the trees of the field fainted because of it.^{(F) 16} I made the nations quake at the sound of its fall, when I cast it down to Sheol with those who go down to the Pit, and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that were well watered, were consoled in the world below.^{(G) 17} They also went down to Sheol with it, to those killed by the sword, along with its allies,^[b] those who lived in its shade among the nations.^(H)

¹⁸ Which among the trees of Eden was like you in glory and in greatness? Now you shall be brought down with the trees of Eden to the world below; you shall lie among the uncircumcised, with those who are killed by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his horde, says the Lord God.^(I)
