כֹּֽה־אָמַ֞ר אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֗ה בְּי֨וֹם רִדְתּ֤וֹ שְׁא֙וֹלָה֙ הֶאֱבַ֜לְתִּי כִּסֵּ֤תִי עָלָיו֙ אֶת־תְּה֔וֹם וָֽאֶמְנַע֙ נַהֲרוֹתֶ֔יהָ וַיִּכָּלְא֖וּ מַ֣יִם רַבִּ֑ים וָאַקְדִּ֤ר עָלָיו֙ לְבָנ֔וֹן וְכָל־עֲצֵ֥י הַשָּׂדֶ֖ה עָלָ֥יו עֻלְפֶּֽה׃
Ainsi parle le Seigneur Dieu: "Le jour où il est descendu dans le Scheol, j’ai fait mener le deuil; à cause de lui j’ai recouvert la source profonde, j’en ai arrêté les fleuves, et les grandes eaux ont été retenues prisonnières; j’ai enténébré pour lui le Liban, et tous les arbres des champs ont été pris de langueur à cause de lui.
