"All the birds of the air lived upon his ruins, and all the beasts of the countryside were among his branches. "
— Ezekiel 31:13, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:”
“Upon his ruin all the birds of the heavens shall dwell, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches; ”
“On his ruin all the birds of the sky shall dwell, and all the animals of the field shall be on his branches;”
“On its ruins all the birds of the sky will live, and all the wild animals will walk on its branches.”
“All the fowls of the air dwelt upon his ruins, and all the beasts of the field were among his branches.”
“All the birds of heaven have come to rest on his broken stem where it is stretched on the earth, and all the beasts of the field will be on his branches:”
“Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:”
Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Since he was sublime in height, and he made his summit green and dense, and his heart was exalted because of his height,
I have delivered him into the hands of the most powerful one among the Gentiles, so that he will deal with him. I have cast him out, in accord with his impiety.
And foreigners, and the most cruel among the nations, will cut him down. And they will cast him on the mountains. And his branches will fall in every steep valley, and his grove will be broken apart on every cliff of the earth. And all the peoples of the earth will withdraw from his shadow, and abandon him.
All the birds of the air lived upon his ruins, and all the beasts of the countryside were among his branches.
For this reason, none of the trees among the waters will exalt themselves because of their height, nor will they place their summits above the thick branches and foliage, nor will any of those that are irrigated stand out because of their height. For they have all been delivered unto death, to the lowest part of the earth, into the midst of the sons of men, those who descend into the pit.
Thus says the Lord God: In the day when he descended into hell, I led in grieving. I covered him with the abyss. And I held back its rivers, and I restrained the many waters. Lebanon was saddened over him, and all the trees of the field were struck together.
I shook the Gentiles with the sound of his ruin, when I led him down to hell, with those who were descending into the pit. And all the trees of delights, the finest and best in Lebanon, all that were irrigated with waters, were consoled in the deepest parts of the earth.
