Ezekiel 31:10-14 — Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁰‘Therefore thus says Lord Yahweh, “Because ¹it is lofty in height and has put its top among the ²clouds, and its ^aheart is high up in its loftiness, ¹¹therefore I will give it into the hand of a ¹^,^adominant one of the nations; he will thoroughly deal with it. According to its wickedness I have ^bdriven it away. ¹²“^aStrangers—^bruthless ones of the nations have cut it down and abandoned it; on the ^cmountains and in all the valleys its foliage has fallen, and its boughs have been broken in all the ravines of the land. And all the peoples of the earth have ^dgone down from its shade and abandoned it. ¹³“On its downfall all the ^abirds of the sky will dwell, and all the beasts of the field will be on its fallen branches ¹⁴so that all the trees by the waters may not be lofty in their height, nor put their top among the ¹clouds, nor their dominant ones—all the ²well-watered ones—stand in their loftiness. For they have all been given over to death, to the ^aearth beneath, among the sons of men, with those who go down to the pit.”
