To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.

Verse 18 is found in chapter 31 of Ezekiel. Assyria’s descent into Sheol causes mourning among the nations. The comparison directly serves as a warning to Pharaoh: Egypt’s greatness also does not guarantee permanence. The chapter uses the history of one fallen power to interpret the destiny of another.

Wie groß meinst du denn, Pharao, daß du seist mit deiner Pracht und Herrlichkeit unter den lustigen Bäumen? Denn du mußt mit den lustigen Bäumen unter die Erde hinabfahren und unter den Unbeschnittenen liegen, so mit dem Schwert erschlagen sind. Also soll es Pharao gehen samt allem seinem Volk, spricht der Herr, HERR.
¿A quién te has comparado así en gloria y en grandeza entre los árboles de Edén? Pues derrribado serás con los árboles de Edén en la tierra baja: entre los incircuncisos yacerás, con los muertos a cuchillo. Este es Faraón y todo su pueblo, dice el Señor Jehová.
¿A quién te pareces así en gloria y grandeza entre los árboles de Edén? Serás derribado con los árboles de Edén a las profundidades de la tierra. Yacerás entre los incircuncisos, con los muertos a espada. Este es el faraón y toda su multitud, declara el Señor Jehová».
A qui ressembles-tu ainsi en gloire et en grandeur Parmi les arbres d'Eden? Tu seras précipité avec les arbres d'Eden Dans les profondeurs de la terre, Tu seras couché au milieu des incirconcis, Avec ceux qui ont péri par l'épée. Voilà Pharaon et toute sa multitude! Dit le Seigneur, l'Eternel.
A cui, d ‘infra gli alberi di Eden, sei tu simile, in pari gloria e grandezza? ma pur sarai tratto giù con gli altri alberi di Eden, nelle più basse parti della terra; tu giacerai per mezzo gl’incirconcisi, con quelli che sono stati uccisi con la spada. Questo è Faraone, e tutta la sua moltitudine, dice il Signore Iddio
A quem, pois, és semelhante em glória e em grandeza entre as árvores do Éden? Todavia serás precipitado com as árvores do Éden às partes mais baixas da terra; no meio dos incircuncisos jazerás com os que foram traspassados à espada; este é Faraó e toda a sua multidão, diz o Senhor DEUS.
在這樣的榮耀與威勢中, 伊甸 樹木有誰能與你相比呢?然而你要與 伊甸 的樹木一同到地底下;在未受割禮的人中,與被刀所殺的人一同躺下。 「法老和他的軍隊正是如此。這是主耶和華說的。」
