Ezekiel 31:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 And the strangers have destroyed him, even the terrible nations, and they have left him upon the mountains, and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are [a]broken by all the rivers of the land: and all the people of the earth are departed from his shadow, and have forsaken him.
13 Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches,
14 So that none of all the trees by the waters shall be exalted by their height, neither shall shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither shall their leaves stand up in their height, which drink so much water: for they are all delivered unto death in the nether parts of the earth in the midst of the children of men among them that go down to 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)
