“Even if they burrow into Sheol,[a]
    from there my hand will find them.
Even if they ascend to the heavens,
    from there I will bring them down.
Even if they hide at the top of Mount[b] Carmel,
    from there I will search and seize them.
Even if they hide from my sight in the depths of the sea,
    from there I will order the serpent to strike them.
Even if they go into exile among their enemies,
    from there I will order the sword to kill them.
I will fix my gaze on them to inflict disaster,
    and not to do good.[c]
