Así sucede para que ninguno de los árboles que crecen junto a las aguas se exalte por su altura, ni levante su copa hasta las nubes; y para que ninguno de los árboles que beben aguas confíe en la altura de sus ramas. Porque todos son entregados a la muerte, a la parte más baja de la tierra, en medio de los hijos de los hombres que descienden a la fosa.’"
