Ezekiel 31:14-16

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁴ All this is in order that no trees by the waters may grow to lofty height or set their tops among the clouds,^[a] and that no trees that drink water may reach up to them in height; for they are all given over to death, to the nether world among mortal men, with those who go down to the Pit.

¹⁵ “Thus says the Lord God: When it goes down to Sheol I will make the deep mourn for^[b] it, and restrain its rivers, and many waters shall be stopped; I will clothe Lebanon in gloom for it, and all the trees of the field shall faint because of it. ¹⁶ I will make 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 drink water, will be comforted in the nether world.
