Ezechiel 31:14
For which cause none of the trees by the waters shall exalt themselves for their height: nor shoot up their tops among the thick branches and leaves, neither shall any of them that are watered stand up in their height: for they are all delivered unto death to the lowest parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down into the pit.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Quam ob rem non elevabuntur in altitudine sua omnia ligna aquarum, nec ponent sublimitatem suam inter nemorosa atque frondosa, nec stabunt in sublimitate sua omnia quæ irrigantur aquis : quia omnes traditi sunt in mortem ad terram ultimam, in medio filiorum hominum, ad eos qui descendunt in lacum.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- ὅπως μὴ ὑψωθῶσιν ἐν τῷ μεγέθει αὐτῶν καὶ πάντα τὰ ξύλα τὰ ἐν τῷ ὕδατι· καὶ ἔδωκαν τὴν ἀρχήν αὐτῶν εἰς μέσον νεφελῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἔστησαν ἐν τῷ ὕψει αὐτῶν πρὸς αὐτά· πάντες οἱ πίνοντες ὕδωρ, πάντες ἐδόθησαν εἰς θάνατον, εἰς γῆς βάθος, ἐν μέσῳ υἱῶν ἀνθρώπων, πρὸς καταβαίνοντας εἰς βόθρον.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- לְמַ֡עַן אֲשֶׁר֩ לֹא יִגְבְּה֨וּ בְקוֹמָתָ֜ם כָּל עֲצֵי מַ֗יִם וְלֹֽא יִתְּנ֤וּ אֶת צַמַּרְתָּם֙ אֶל בֵּ֣ין עֲבֹתִ֔ים וְלֹֽא יַעַמְד֧וּ אֵלֵיהֶ֛ם בְּגָבְהָ֖ם כָּל שֹׁ֣תֵי מָ֑יִם כִּֽי כֻלָּם֩ נִתְּנ֨וּ לַמָּ֜וֶת אֶל אֶ֣רֶץ תַּחְתִּ֗ית בְּת֛וֹךְ בְּנֵ֥י אָדָ֖ם אֶל י֥וֹרְדֵי בֽוֹר
