¹⁴ Therefore Death^(A) expands its jaws,
    opening wide its mouth;^(B)
into it will descend their nobles and masses
    with all their brawlers and revelers.^(C)

⁹ The realm of the dead^(A) below is all astir
    to meet you at your coming;
it rouses the spirits of the departed^(B) to greet you—
    all those who were leaders^(C) in the world;
it makes them rise from their thrones—
    all those who were kings over the nations.^(D)

¹¹ All your pomp has been brought down to the grave,^(A)
    along with the noise of your harps;^(B)
maggots are spread out beneath you
    and worms^(C) cover you.^(D)

⁵ indeed, wine^(A) betrays him;
    he is arrogant^(B) and never at rest.
Because he is as greedy as the grave
    and like death is never satisfied,^(C)
he gathers to himself all the nations
    and takes captive^(D) all the peoples.
