Ezekiel 17:24

And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the LORD have spoken and have done it.

KJV

et scient omnia ligna regionis quia ego Dominus humiliavi lignum sublime, et exaltavi lignum humile ; et siccavi lignum viride, et frondere feci lignum aridum. Ego Dominus locutus sum, et feci.

Vulgate

καὶ γνώσονται πάντα τὰ ξύλα τοῦ πεδίου διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος ὁ ταπεινῶν ξύλον ὑψηλὸν καὶ ὑψῶν ξύλον ταπεινόν, καὶ ξηραίνων ξύλον χλωρὸν καὶ ἀναθάλλων ξύλον ξηρόν. ἐγὼ Κύριος λελάληκα καὶ ποιήσω.

LXX

And all the trees of the field shall know that I, Jehovah, have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I, Jehovah, have spoken and have done it.
