This happened so that no other trees by the waters would become great in height and set their tops among the clouds, and no other well-watered trees would reach them in height. For they have all been consigned to death, to the depths of the earth, among the mortals who descend to the Pit.’
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
to the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves in their stature, neither set their top among the thick boughs, nor that their mighty ones stand up on their height, even all who drink water: for they are all delivered to death, to the lower parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with those who go down to the pit.
World English Bible (WEB)
To the end that none of all the trees{H6086} by the waters{H4325} exalt{H1361}{(H8799)} themselves for their height{H6967}, neither shoot up{H5414}{(H8799)} their top{H6788} among the thick boughs{H5688}, neither their trees{H352} stand up{H5975}{(H8799)} in their height{H1363}, all that drink{H8354}{(H8802)} water{H4325}: for they are all delivered{H5414}{(H8738)} unto death{H4194}, to the nether parts{H8482} of the earth{H776}, in the midst{H8432} of the children{H1121} of men{H120}, with them that go down{H3381}{(H8802)} to the pit{H953}.
Strong's King James
The F.O.G
The F.O.G Message
In order that none of the trees of the waters May become haughty because of their stature, Nor give their foliage between thickets, Nor any drinking waters stand up unto them in their haughtiness, For all of them are given up to death, Unto the earth—the lower part, In the midst of the sons of men, Unto those going down to the pit.
