Ezekiel 31:12-14

International Standard Version

¹² Foreign dictators have trimmed it down to size and abandoned it. Its branches have fallen off on mountains and in all the valleys. Its boughs have broken off in all the ravines of the land. All the nations of the earth have moved out of its shade and abandoned it. ¹³ All the birds in the sky will live among its ruins, and the wild animals^[a] will forage among its branches. ¹⁴ As a result, none of its watered trees will grow tall, their tops will never reach to the clouds, and they’ll never grow so high again, because all of them have been appointed^[b] to death in the world beneath where human beings go, that is, down to the Pit.’”^[c]
