Ezekiel 31:12-14

New International Version

¹² and the most ruthless of foreign nations^(A) cut it down and left it. Its boughs fell on the mountains and in all the valleys;^(B) its branches lay broken in all the ravines of the land. All the nations of the earth came out from under its shade and left it.^{(C) 13} All the birds settled on the fallen tree, and all the wild animals lived among its branches.^{(D) 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^(E) for death,^(F) for the earth below, among mortals who go down to the realm of the dead.^(G)
