Ezekiel 31:10-18
Lexham English Bible
10 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Because[a] it was tall in height and it set its treetop between[b] thick clouds, and he took pride in his tallness,[c] 11 then[d] I gave it into the hand of the leader of nations; he dealt thoroughly[e] with it according to its wickedness. I drove it out. 12 And strangers cut it off, the most ruthless of nations, and they abandoned it. On the mountains and in all of the valleys its branches fell, and its branches were broken in all the river channels of the land, and all the peoples of the world went out from its shadow, and they abandoned it. 13 On its fallen trunk all the birds[f] of the heaven[g] now dwell, and all the animals of the field were on its branches. 14 This occurred so that all of the trees with abundant water will not become tall, and they will not set their treetop between[h] their thick foliage,[i] and so thatall of the trees that are abundantly watered[j] will not stand up to them[k] in their tallness, for all of them, they have been given over to death, to the world below in the midst of mortals,[l] to the people going down to the grave.”[m]
15 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “On the day of its going down to Sheol, I caused mourning; I covered over it with the deep, and I withheld its rivers, and many waters were restrained, and I brought gloom over it; Lebanon and all of the trees of the field, they had fainted because of it. 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,[n] and so in the world below all of the trees of Eden, the choice and the best of Lebanon, all the well-watered trees[o] were comforted! 17 They also went down with it to Sheol to those who died by the sword,[p] 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[q] 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.[r] That is Pharaoh and his entire[s] crowd!”[t] declares[u] the Lord Yahweh.

Ezekiel 31:10-18
Holman Christian Standard Bible
10 “Therefore this is what the Lord God says: Since it[a] became great in height and set its top among the clouds,[b] and it[c] grew proud(A) on account of its height, 11 I determined to hand it over to a ruler of nations;(B) he would surely deal with it. I banished it because of its wickedness. 12 Foreigners, ruthless men from the nations,(C) cut it down and left it lying. Its limbs fell on the mountains and in every valley; its boughs lay broken in all the earth’s ravines. All the peoples of the earth left its shade and abandoned it. 13 All the birds of the sky nested on its fallen trunk, and all the animals of the field were among its boughs. 14 This happened so that no trees planted beside water would become great in height and set their tops among the clouds,[d] 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 who descend to the Pit.(D)
15 “This is what the Lord God says: I caused grieving on the day the cedar went down to Sheol.(E) I closed off the underground deep because of it:[e] I held back the rivers of the deep, and its abundant waters were 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,(F) all the well-watered trees, the choice and best of Lebanon, were comforted(G) in the underworld. 17 They too descended with it to Sheol, to those slain by the sword. As its allies[f][g] they had lived in its shade among the nations.
18 “Who then are you like in glory and greatness among Eden’s trees? You also will be brought down to the underworld to be with the trees of Eden. You will lie among the uncircumcised with those slain by the sword.(H) This is Pharaoh and all his hordes”—the declaration of the Lord God.
