I will make the nations quake at the sound of its fall, when I bring it down to Sheol with those who go down to the Pit; and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be consoled in the world below, establishing that the cedar's downfall shakes the international order and that other trees (perhaps representing other imperial powers) will be consoled by the knowledge that even supreme power falls. The mention of Eden's trees suggests that destruction reaches even the garden of God itself.
