Which of these trees in Eden was your equal in glory and greatness?
"Which of these trees in Eden had as much glory as you and was as great as you?" God asks Pharaoh this question to show him that the parable applies to him and his country. It can start with "So Pharaoh" or "So Egypt." (See" rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
For you will be brought down
AT: "For I will bring you down"

AT: "like the other trees of Eden"

"to a place deep in the ground"

AT: "where you will be with people who are not circumcised"
