“Whom are you thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? You shall be brought down with the trees of Eden to the world below. You shall lie among the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword. “This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, declares the Lord GOD.”
Pride climbs with every coin and crown, one carnal heart teaches another the same fatal lesson. Pharaoh grew great and his heart rose with him; so did Assyria's king, who set God Himself at defiance. Rare is the humble spirit in high places, and rarer still the escape from the fall that waits on such arrogance.

Commenting on Ezekiel 31:10-18
Name your equal among earth's mightiest kings, and even if you find one, what secured him from ruin? Nothing. You shall be brought low to the grave itself, lying among the uncircumcised and the sword-slain, for the Lord God has spoken it, and it shall come to pass.
AI summary
The unchangeable God governs by unchangeable principles: Eden's privileges abused to pride and sin end in ruin, whether in Assyria or Egypt. You mocked circumcision; now you shall lie among the uncircumcised, slain by the sword, retribution in kind, pointing to one prostrate and humbled before all.
