Woe to the Wicked
5 “Indeed, because he transgresses by wine,
He is a proud man,

He gathers to himself all nations
And heaps up for himself all peoples.

And (A)cast them down to the depths of the earth,
Her and the daughters of the famous nations,
With those who go down to the Pit:
19 ‘Whom (B)do you surpass in beauty?
(C)Go down, be placed with the uncircumcised.’

She is delivered to the sword,
(D)Drawing her and all her multitudes.

Shall speak to him out of the midst of hell
With those who help him:
‘They have (F)gone down,
They lie with the uncircumcised, slain by the sword.’

With their graves all around her,
All of them slain, fallen by the sword.

All of them slain, fallen by the sword,
Who (I)caused terror in the land of the living.
24 “There is (J)Elam and all her multitude,
All around her grave,
All of them slain, fallen by the sword,
Who have (K)gone down uncircumcised to the lower parts of the earth,

Now they bear their shame with those who go down to the Pit.
25 They have set her (M)bed in the midst of the slain,
With all her multitude,
With her graves all around it,
All of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword;
Though their terror was caused
In the land of the living,
Yet they bear their shame
With those who go down to the Pit;
It was put in the midst of the slain.
26 “There are (N)Meshech and Tubal and all their multitudes,

Who are fallen of the uncircumcised,
Who have gone down to hell with their weapons of war;
They have laid their swords under their heads,
But their iniquities will be on their bones,
Because of the terror of the mighty in the land of the living.
28 Yes, you shall be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised,
And lie with those slain by the sword.
29 “There is (Q)Edom,
Her kings and all her princes,
Who despite their might
Are laid beside those slain by the sword;
They shall lie with the uncircumcised,
And with those who go down to the Pit.
30 (R)There are the princes of the north,
All of them, and all the (S)Sidonians,
Who have gone down with the slain
In shame at the terror which they caused by their might;
They lie uncircumcised with those slain by the sword,
And bear their shame with those who go down to the Pit.
