Ezekiel 31:14
New English Translation
14 For this reason no watered trees will grow so tall; their tops will not reach into the clouds, nor will the well-watered ones grow that high.[a] For all of them have been appointed to die in the lower parts of the earth;[b] they will be among mere mortals,[c] with those who descend to the Pit.

Ezekiel 31:14
New International Version
14 Therefore 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(A) for death,(B) for the earth below, among mortals who go down to the realm of the dead.(C)
Ezekiel 31:14
King James Version
14 To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.

Ezekiel 31:14
New King James Version
14 So that no trees by the waters may ever again exalt themselves for their height, nor set their tops among the thick boughs, that no tree which drinks water may ever be high enough to reach up to them.
‘For (A)they have all been delivered to death,
(B)To the depths of the earth,
Among the children of men who go down to the Pit.’
