Ezekiel 31:11 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Ezekiel 31:11

9 I made it beautiful with a multitude of branches,
So that all the trees of Eden envied it,
That were in the garden of God.’

10 “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Because you have increased in height, and it set its top among the thick boughs, and ^aits heart was lifted up in its height,

11 therefore I will deliver it into the hand of the ^amighty one of the nations, and he shall surely deal with it; I have driven it out for its wickedness.

12 And aliens, ^athe most terrible of the nations, have cut it down and left it; its branches have fallen ^bon the mountains and in all the valleys; its boughs lie ^cbroken by all the rivers of the land; and all the peoples of the earth have gone from under its shadow and left it.

13 ‘On ^aits ruin will remain all the birds of the heavens,
And all the beasts of the field will come to its branches—
