19 “For thus says the Lord God: When I make you a city laid waste, like the cities that are not inhabited, (A)when I bring up the deep over you, and the great waters cover you, 20 then (B)I will make you go down with those who go down to the pit, to the people of old, and I will make you to dwell in the world below, among ruins from of old, (C)with those who go down to the pit, so that you will not be inhabited; but I will set beauty (D)in the land of the living. 21 I will bring you (E)to a dreadful end, and you shall be no more. (F)Though you be sought for, you will never be found again, declares the Lord God.”
