\v 12 Foreigners who were the terror of all the nations cut it off and left it to die. Its branches fell on the mountains and all the valleys, and its boughs lie broken in all the ravines of the land. Then all the nations on earth came out from under its shade and they went away from it.
\v 14 This happened so that none of the other watered trees would ever grow that tall, so that they would not raise their tree tops above the foliage, for no other tree that drank up water would ever again grow that tall. For they were all given over to death down to the lowest part of the earth, in the midst of the people of mankind who go down to the pit.
\v 15 The Lord Yahweh says this: On the day when the cedar went down to Sheol I brought mourning to the earth. I covered the deep waters over it, and I held back the ocean waters. I kept back the great waters, and I brought mourning to Lebanon for him. So all the trees of the field mourned because of it.
\v 16 I brought shuddering to the nations at the sound of his downfall, when I threw him down to Sheol with those who went down into the pit. And I comforted all the trees of Eden in the lowest parts of the earth. These had been the choicest and best trees of Lebanon, the trees that drank the waters.
\v 17 For they also went down with it to Sheol, to the ones who had been killed by the sword. These were its strong arm, those nations who had lived in its shade.
\v 18 Which of the trees in Eden was your equal in glory and greatness? For you will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the lowest parts of the earth among the uncircumcised; you will live with those who were killed by the sword.'
