Spanish La Biblia Textual (BTX) Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia 1999
para que ninguno de los árboles que crece junto a las aguas se exalte en su altura, ni eleve su copa entre las nubes, ni confíe en sí mismo por su estatura, ninguno de los que son regados con las aguas: porque todos están destinados a la muerte, a lo profundo de la tierra, entre los hijos de los hombres que bajan a la fosa.

Imagine a forest where tall trees think they're better than the others. God says that even these tall trees will be brought down, just like everyone else. It's like saying no one is too big to be humble.
