Ezekiel 31:16-18
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
16 I made the nations quake at the sound of its fall, when I cast it down to Sheol with those who go down to the Pit, and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that were well watered, were consoled in the world below.(A) 17 They also went down to Sheol with it, to those killed by the sword, along with its allies,[a] those who lived in its shade among the nations.(B)
18 Which among the trees of Eden was like you in glory and in greatness? Now you shall be brought down with the trees of Eden to the world below; you shall lie among the uncircumcised, with those who are killed by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his horde, says the Lord God.(C)
