Ezekiel 31:9-12 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

9. I made it beautifulwith abundant foliage,So that all the trees in Edenwere envious of it.

10. Therefore, thus says the Lord God:Because it was arrogant about its height,lifting its crown among the cloudsand exalting itself because of its size,

11. I handed it over to a ruler of nationsto deal with it according to its evil.I have cast it off,

12. and foreigners have cut it down,The most ruthless nations,have hurled it on the mountains.Its boughs fell into every valleyand its branches lay brokenin every ravine in the land.All the peoples of the earthdeparted from its shadewhen it was hurled down.
