Ezekiel 31:10-12

New Century Version

¹⁰ “‘So this is what the Lord God says: The tree grew tall. Its top reached the clouds, and it became proud of its height. ¹¹ So I handed it over to a mighty ruler of the nations for him to punish it. Because it was evil, I got rid of it. ¹² The cruelest foreign nation cut it down and left it. The tree’s branches fell on the mountains and in all the valleys, and its broken limbs were in all the ravines of the land. All the nations of the earth left the shade of that tree.
