EZEKIEL 31:15 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Thus saith the Lord God; In the day when he went down to the grave I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him.”
Thus says the Lord God: When it goes down to Sheol, I will make the deep mourn for it; I will restrain its rivers, and many waters shall be stopped; I will clothe Lebanon in gloom for it, and all the trees of the field shall wither on account of it, describing the cosmological response to the cedar's descent: grief in the underworld, disruption of waters, environmental mourning. The clothing of Lebanon in 'gloom' suggests that even the majestic landscape grieves.
