19 “For the Lord Yahweh says: ‘When I make you a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I bring up the deep on you, and the great waters cover you; 20 then I will bring you down with those who descend into the pit, to the people of old time, and will make you dwell in the lower parts of the earth, in the places that are desolate of old, with those who go down to the pit, that you be not inhabited; and I will set glory in the land of the living. 21 I will make you a terror, and you will no more have any being. Though you are sought for, yet you will never be found again,’ says the Lord Yahweh.”

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.
