Ezekiel 31:12-14
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
12 And strangers, and the most cruel of the nations shall cut him down, and cast him away upon the mountains, and his boughs shall fall in every valley, and his branches shall be broken on every rock of the country: and all the people of the earth shall depart from his shadow, and leave him.
13 All the fowls of the air dwelt upon his ruins, and all the beasts of the field were among his branches.
14 For which cause none of the trees by the waters shall exalt themselves for their height: nor shoot up their tops among the thick branches and leaves, neither shall any of them that are watered stand up in their height: for they are all delivered unto death to the lowest parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down into the pit.

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)
