Then all the trees of Eden,(A) all the well-watered trees, the choice and best of Lebanon, were comforted(B) in the underworld. 17 They too descended with it to Sheol, to those slain by the sword. As its allies[a][b] they had lived in its shade among the nations.

18 “Who then are you like in glory and greatness among Eden’s trees? You also will be brought down to the underworld to be with the trees of Eden. You will lie among the uncircumcised with those slain by the sword.(C) This is Pharaoh and all his hordes”—the declaration of the Lord God.
