²⁹ If men rise up to pursue you and to seek your life, the life of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living in the care of the Lord your God. And the lives of your enemies ^(A)he shall sling out as from the hollow of a sling.

³⁰ But if the Lord creates something new, and ^(A)the ground opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that belongs to them, and they ^(B)go down alive into Sheol, then you shall know that these men have despised the Lord.”

^31 (C)And as soon as he had finished speaking all these words, the ground under them split apart. ³² And the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households and ^(D)all the people who belonged to Korah and all their goods. ³³ So they and all that belonged to them went down alive into Sheol, and the earth closed over them, and ^(E)they perished from the midst of the assembly.

^18 (A)“Son of man, ^(B)wail over ^(C)the multitude of Egypt, and ^(D)send them down, her and the daughters of majestic nations, ^(E)to the world below, to those who have gone down to the pit:

²⁰ They shall fall amid those ^(H)who are slain by the sword. Egypt^[a] is delivered to the sword; drag her away, and ^(I)all her multitudes. ²¹ The mighty chiefs ^(J)shall speak of them, ^(K)with their helpers, out of the midst of Sheol: ‘They have come down, they lie still, ^(L)the uncircumcised, ^(M)slain by the sword.’

^22 (N)“Assyria is there, and all her company, ^(O)its graves all around it, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, ²³ whose graves are set in ^(P)the uttermost parts of the pit; and her company is all around her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, ^(Q)who spread terror ^(R)in the land of the living.

^24 (S)“Elam is ^(T)there, and all her multitude around her grave; all of them ^(U)slain, fallen by the sword, who went down uncircumcised into ^(V)the world below, who spread their terror in the land of the living; and ^(W)they bear their shame ^(X)with those who go down to the pit. ^25 (Y)They have made her a bed among the slain with all her multitude, ^(Z)her graves all around it, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for terror of them was spread in the land of the living, and they bear their shame with those who go down to the pit; they are placed among the slain.

^26 (AA)“Meshech-Tubal is ^(AB)there, and all her multitude, ^(AC)her graves all around it, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for they spread their terror in the land of the living. ²⁷ And ^(AD)they do not lie with the mighty, the fallen from among the uncircumcised, who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war, whose swords were laid under their heads, and whose iniquities are upon their bones; for the terror of the mighty men was in the land of the living. ²⁸ But as for you, you shall be broken ^(AE)and lie among the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword.

^29 (AF)“Edom is ^(AG)there, her kings and all her princes, who for all their might are laid with those who are killed by the sword; they lie with the uncircumcised, with those who go down to the pit.

³¹ “When Pharaoh sees them, he ^(AL)will be comforted for ^(AM)all his multitude, Pharaoh and all his army, slain by the sword, declares the Lord God. ^32 (AN)For I spread terror ^(AO)in the land of the living; and he shall be laid to rest among ^(AP)the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword, Pharaoh and all his multitude, declares the Lord God.”
