Ezequiel 31:15

15 Assim diz o Senhor Deus: No dia em que ele desceu ao Seol, fiz eu que houvesse luto; cobri o abismo, por sua causa, e retive as suas correntes, e detiveram-se as grandes águas; e fiz que o Líbano o pranteasse; e todas as árvores do campo por causa dele desfaleceram.

Ezequiel 31:15 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 31:15

Thus saith the Lord God, in the day when he went down to the
grave
The Assyrian monarch; when his monarchy was destroyed, and he ceased to be king, and was stripped of all his majesty, power, and authority, and was as one dead, and laid in the grave, and buried: I caused a mourning:
that is, for him, in the waters, and among the trees, among the people and the kings of the earth, as follows: I covered the deep for him;
with mourning, with thick darkness, which set him up on high ( Ezekiel 31:4 ) : and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed;
which made him great, ( Ezekiel 31:4 ) , signifying by all this that the kingdoms of the world, comparable to the sea, of which his monarchy consisted, and all the inhabitants and people of them, comparable to floods and great waters, were affected with the fall of this great monarch, and thrown into consternation by it; not knowing what the event of things would be, stood still, and knew not what course to take; all business was stopped, especially all traffic by sea, and all trade and commerce every where; a stagnation of everything for a while: and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him;
where he was a cedar, ( Ezekiel 31:3 ) , this may respect the whole empire he was head of, particularly the kingdom of Syria, on the borders of which Lebanon was; and was a part of the Assyrian empire, which must mourn and be concerned at the fall of it: and all the trees of the field fainted for him:
all the kings of the earth that were in alliance with him, or subject to him, trembled for fear that their destruction would be next; or as doubtful and concerned what would be their condition, under the yoke of another. The Targum is,

``tribulation covered the world, and the provinces were forsaken, and many people trembled, and all the kings of the people smote the shoulder because of him.''

Ezequiel 31:15 In-Context

13 Todas as aves do céu habitarão sobre a sua ruína, e todos os animais do campo estarão sobre os seus ramos;

14 para que nenhuma de todas as árvores junto �s águas se exalte na sua estatura, nem levante a sua copa no meio dos ramos espessos, nem se levantem na sua altura os seus poderosos, sim, todos os que bebem água; porque todos eles estão entregues � morte, até as partes inferiores da terra, no meio dos filhos dos homens, juntamente com os que descem a cova.

15 Assim diz o Senhor Deus: No dia em que ele desceu ao Seol, fiz eu que houvesse luto; cobri o abismo, por sua causa, e retive as suas correntes, e detiveram-se as grandes águas; e fiz que o Líbano o pranteasse; e todas as árvores do campo por causa dele desfaleceram.

16 Farei tremer as nações ao som da sua queda, quando o fizer descer ao Seol juntamente com os que descem � cova; e todas as árvores do Edem a flor e o melhor do Líbano, todas as que bebem águas, se consolarão nas partes inferiores da terra;

17 também juntamente com ele descerão ao Seol, ajuntar-se aos que foram mortos � espada; sim, aos que foram seu braço, e que habitavam � sua sombra no meio das nações.
