Ezekiel 31:15

Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, In the day when he descended into hades, I caused a mourning. I covered over him the roaring deep, And restrained the currents thereof And stayed were the mighty waters, So caused I gloom over him unto Lebanon, And all the trees of the field for him were covered with a shroud.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when he went down to the grave I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him.

16At the sound of his fall, I made nations tremble, When I caused him to descend into hades, with them who descend into the pit,— Then were grieved in the earth below-All the trees of Eden, The choicest and best of Lebanon All who had drunk the waters.
