Ezekiel:31:10-14
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD :
Because thou art exalted in stature ,
and he hath set his top among the thick boughs ,
and his heart is lifted up in his height ;
*
I do even deliver him into the hand of the mighty one of the nations ;
he shall surely deal with him ;
I do drive him out according to his wickedness .
*
And strangers ,
the terrible of the nations ,
do cut him off ,
and cast him down ;
upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen ,
and his boughs lie broken in all the channels of the land ;
and all the peoples of the earth do go down from his shadow ,
and do leave him .
*
Upon his carcass all the fowls of the heaven do dwell ,
and upon his branches are all the beasts of the field ;
*
to the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves in their stature ,
neither set their top among the thick boughs ,
nor that their mighty ones stand up in their height ,
even all that drink water ;
for they are all delivered unto death ,
to the nether parts of the earth ,
in the midst of the children of men ,
with them that go down to the pit .
