Ezekiel 31:9-11

New Catholic Bible

⁹I made it beautiful
with its mass of foliage;
it was the envy of all the trees in Eden
that were in the garden of God.

¹⁰Therefore, thus says the Lord God: Because it grew to a towering stature, with its top reaching the clouds, and then became arrogant with pride about its height, ¹¹I handed it over to the prince of the nations.^[a] I empowered him to deal with it as its wickedness deserves. I have rejected it.
