¹⁹ For this is what the Lord God says: “When I make you a ruined city like other deserted cities, when I raise up the deep against you so that the mighty waters cover you, ²⁰ then I will bring you down to be with those who descend to the Pit,^(A) to the people of antiquity. I will make you dwell in the underworld^[a] like^[b] the ancient ruins, with those who descend to the Pit, so that you will no longer be inhabited or display your splendor^[c] in the land of the living.^{(B) 21} I will make you an object of horror, and you will no longer exist.^(C) You will be sought but will never be found again.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.
