¹⁹ For thus says the Lord God: When I make you a city laid waste, like cities that are not inhabited, when I bring up the deep over you and the great waters cover you, ²⁰ then I will thrust you down with those who descend into the Pit, to the people of long ago, and I will make you live in the world below, among primeval ruins, with those who go down to the Pit, so that you will not be inhabited or have a place^[a] in the land of the living.^{(A) 21} I will bring you to a dreadful end, and you shall be no more; though sought for, you will never be found again, says the Lord God.^(B)
