EZEKIEL 31:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him.”
Foreigners, the most terrible of the nations, shall cut it down and leave it; on the mountains and in all the valleys its branches shall fall, and its boughs shall be broken in all the ravines of the land, depicting the tree's destruction in graphic detail: felling by foreign conquerors, branches scattered across the landscape, complete dismemberment. The 'most terrible of the nations' suggests overwhelming military force. The geographic scope of destruction—mountains, valleys, ravines—indicates that nothing of the tree remains intact.
