Ezekiel 31:10-14

10 ‘Therefore this is what the Lord
Heb YHWH, usually rendered Lord, and so throughout the ch
God says: “Because
As in Syriac; MT you are
it is tall in stature and has put its top among the
As in LXX; MT thick branches
clouds, and its dheart is haughty in its loftiness,
11I will hand it over to a
Or mighty one
,
fruler of the nations; he will thoroughly deal with it. In accordance with its wickedness I have gdriven it out.
12 hForeign ityrants of the nations have cut it down and left it; on the jmountains and in all the valleys its branches have fallen, and its branches have been broken in all the ravines of the land. And all the peoples of the earth have kgone down from its shade and left it. 13All the lbirds of the sky will nest on its fallen trunk, and all the animals of the field will
Lit be on
rest on its fallen branches,
14so that all the trees by the waters will not be exalted in their stature, nor put their tops among the
As in LXX; MT thick branches
clouds, nor will any of their
Lit drinkers of water
well-watered mighty ones stand straight in their height. For they have all been turned over to death, to the pearth beneath, among
Lit sons of mankind
mankind,
Lit to
with those who go down to the pit.”
