Ezekiel 31:12-14
Lexham English Bible
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[a] of the heaven[b] 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[c] their thick foliage,[d] and so thatall of the trees that are abundantly watered[e] will not stand up to them[f] in their tallness, for all of them, they have been given over to death, to the world below in the midst of mortals,[g] to the people going down to the grave.”[h]
