Translations
This happened so that no tree nourished by water would ever again grow so tall or lift its crown into the clouds, so that none of the mighty water-drinking trees would rise to such heights — for all of them are given over to death, to the world below, among humanity, with all who go down to the Pit.
So that no water-fed trees shall ever rise to towering height, or thrust their crowns among the dense foliage — that none who drink water may reach such heights. For all are surrendered to death, to the underworld, among the sons of adam, with those who descend to the Pit.
To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.
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.’
