Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 31:16

_ _ hell — Sheol or Hades, the unseen world: equivalent to, “I cast him into oblivion” (compare Isaiah 14:9-11).

_ _ shall be comforted — because so great a king as the Assyrian is brought down to a level with them. It is a kind of consolation to the wretched to have companions in misery.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 31:10-18.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 31:16

Shake — All that heard the noise of his fall, trembled at it. Cast him down — Brought the king and kingdom, as a dead man to the grave among them, that before were dead and buried. All the trees — All kings, and particularly the greatest. All that drink water — Enjoyed great power, riches, and glory. Comforted — He speaks to the dead with allusion to the manner of the living, who rejoice to see the proud brought low.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Ezekiel 31:16

I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to the grave with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall (h) be comforted in the lower parts of the earth.

(h) To cause this destruction of the king of Assyria to seem more horrible, he sets forth other kings and princes who are dead, as though they rejoiced at the fall of such a tyrant.
