Ezekiel 31:12-14
New American Standard Bible
12 (A)Foreign (B)tyrants of the nations have cut it down and left it; on the (C)mountains and in all the valleys its branches have fallen, and its branches have been broken in all the ravines of the land. And all the peoples of the earth have (D)gone down from its shade and left it. 13 All the (E)birds of the sky will nest on its fallen trunk, and all the animals of the field will [a]rest on its fallen branches, 14 so that all the trees by the waters will not be exalted in their stature, nor put their tops among the [b]clouds, nor will any of their [c]well-watered mighty ones stand straight in their height. For they have all been turned over to death, to the (F)earth beneath, among [d]mankind, [e]with those who 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)
