Ezekiel 31:12-14

English Standard Version Anglicised

^12 (A)Foreigners, ^(B)the most ruthless of nations, have cut it down and left it. ^(C)On the mountains and in all the valleys its branches have fallen, and its boughs have been broken in all ^(D)the ravines of the land, and ^(E)all the peoples of the earth have gone away from its shadow and left it. ^13 (F)On its fallen trunk dwell all the birds of the heavens, and on its branches are all the beasts of the field. ^14 (G)All this is in order that no trees by the waters may grow to towering height or set their tops among the clouds, and that no trees that drink water may reach up to them in height. For they are all given over to death, ^(H)to the world ^(I)below, among the children of man,^[a] with those who go down to the pit.
