And all the peoples of the earth have (D)gone down from its shade and left it. 13 On its ruin all the (E)birds of the heavens will dwell, and all the beasts of the field will be on its fallen branches 14 so that all the trees by the waters may not be exalted in their stature, nor set their top among the [a]clouds, nor their [b]well-watered mighty ones stand erect in their height. For they have all been given over to death, to the (F)earth beneath, among the sons of men, with those who go down to the pit.”
