¹³You were in Eden,^(A)
    the garden of God;^(B)
every precious stone^(C) adorned you:
    carnelian, chrysolite and emerald,
    topaz, onyx and jasper,
    lapis lazuli, turquoise^(D) and beryl.^[a]
Your settings and mountings^[b] were made of gold;
    on the day you were created they were prepared.^(E)

New International Version

⁸The cedars^(A) in the garden of God
    could not rival it,
nor could the junipers
    equal its boughs,
nor could the plane trees^(B)
    compare with its branches—
no tree in the garden of God
    could match its beauty.^(C)
⁹I made it beautiful
    with abundant branches,
the envy of all the trees of Eden^(D)
    in the garden of God.^(E)

¹⁰“‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because the great cedar towered over the thick foliage, and because it was proud^(F) of its height, ¹¹I gave it into the hands of the ruler of the nations, for him to deal with according to its wickedness. I cast it aside,^(G) ¹²and the most ruthless of foreign nations^(H) cut it down and left it. Its boughs fell on the mountains and in all the valleys;^(I) its branches lay broken in all the ravines of the land. All the nations of the earth came out from under its shade and left it.^(J) ¹³All the birds settled on the fallen tree, and all the wild animals lived among its branches.^(K) ¹⁴Therefore no other trees by the waters are ever to tower proudly on high, lifting their tops above the thick foliage. No other trees so well-watered are ever to reach such a height; they are all destined^(L) for death,^(M) for the earth below, among mortals who go down to the realm of the dead.^(N)

¹⁵“‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: On the day it was brought down to the realm of the dead I covered the deep springs with mourning for it; I held back its streams, and its abundant waters were restrained. Because of it I clothed Lebanon with gloom, and all the trees of the field withered away.^(O) ¹⁶I made the nations tremble^(P) at the sound of its fall when I brought it down to the realm of the dead to be with those who go down to the pit. Then all the trees^(Q) of Eden,^(R) the choicest and best of Lebanon, the well-watered trees, were consoled^(S) in the earth below.^(T) ¹⁷They too, like the great cedar, had gone down to the realm of the dead, to those killed by the sword,^(U) along with the armed men who lived in its shade among the nations.

¹⁸“‘Which of the trees of Eden can be compared with you in splendor and majesty? Yet you, too, will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the earth below; you will lie among the uncircumcised,^(V) with those killed by the sword.

“‘This is Pharaoh and all his hordes, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”
