Ezekiel 26:20-21
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
20 Then I will thrust you down
with those who go down to the pit,[a]
to those of the bygone age;
I will make you dwell in the netherworld,
in the everlasting ruins,
with those who have gone down to the pit,
So you will never return
or have a place in the land of the living.(A)
21 I will make you a horror,
and you shall be no more;
You shall be sought for,
but never found again—
oracle of the Lord God.
