and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon,
all that drink water, were comforted in the lower parts
of the earth.
031:017 They also went down into Sheol with him to those who are slain
by the sword; yes, those who were his arm, [that] lived
under his shadow in the midst of the nations.
031:018 To whom are you thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees

This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, says the Lord Yahweh.
032:001 It happened in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month,

032:002 Son of man, take up a lamentation over Pharaoh king of Egypt,
and tell him, You were likened to a young lion of the nations:
yet are you as a monster in the seas; and you did break forth
