Ezekiel 31:17

Egypt Will Fall like Assyria

16I made the nations quake at the sound of its downfall, when I cast it down to Sheol with those who descend to the Pit. Then all the trees of Eden, the choicest and best of Lebanon, all the well-watered trees, were consoled in the earth below.17They too descended with it to Sheol, to those slain by the sword. As its allies they had lived in its shade among the nations.
