For they have all been given over to death, to the ^(A)earth beneath, among the sons of men, with those who go down to the pit.”

¹⁶ I made the nations ^(A)quake at the sound of its fall when I made it ^(B)go down to Sheol with those who go down to the pit; and all the ^[a]well-watered trees of Eden, the choicest and best of ^(C)Lebanon, were ^(D)comforted in the earth beneath.
