Ezekiel 31:16

At 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.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth.

In Context

15Thus, 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.

17Even they, with him descended into hades. Among them who were thrust through with the sword,- Even his seed who dwelt in his shade in the midst of the nations.
