I will make you dwell in the earth below, as in ancient ruins, with those who go down to the pit, and you will not return or take your place[a] in the land of the living.(D) 21 I will bring you to a horrible end and you will be no more.(E) You will be sought, but you will never again be found, declares the Sovereign Lord.”(F)
