All this is in order that no trees by the waters may grow to towering height or set their tops among the clouds,d and that no trees that drink water may reach up to them in height. For they are all given over to death, to the world below, among the children of man,e with those who go down to the pit.
So that no trees by the waters may ever again exalt themselves for their height, nor set their tops among the thick boughs, that no tree which drinks water may ever be high enough to reach up to them.
‘For they have all been delivered to death,
To the depths of the earth,
Among the children of men who go down to the Pit.’
‘For they have all been delivered to death,
To the depths of the earth,
Among the children of men who go down to the Pit.’
