Ezekiel 31:13
Upon his ruin shall all the fowls - The fall of Egypt is likened to the fall of a great tree; and as the fowls and beasts sheltered under its branches before, Ezekiel 31:6, so they now feed upon its ruins.
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—
And all the beasts of the field will come to its branches—
14 ‘So that no trees by the waters may ever again exalt themselves for their height, nor set their tops among the thick boughs, that no tree which drinks water may ever be high enough to reach up to them.
‘For athey have all been delivered to death,
bTo the depths of the earth,
Among the children of men who go down to the Pit.’
‘For athey have all been delivered to death,
bTo the depths of the earth,
Among the children of men who go down to the Pit.’
15 “Thus says the Lord God: ‘In the day when it awent down to hell, I caused mourning. I covered the deep because of it. I restrained its rivers, and the great waters were held back. I caused Lebanon to2 mourn for it, and all the trees of the field wilted because of it.
