² Even if they dig down to hell,^[a]
    from there my hand will seize them.
    And even if they ascend to heaven,
    from there I will bring them down.
³ Even if they hide themselves on the top of Mount Carmel,
    from there I will search for them, and I will seize them.
    Even if they hide themselves from my sight at the bottom of the sea,
    from there I will command the serpent, and it will bite them.
⁴ Even if they go into captivity in the presence of their enemies,
    from there I will command the sword, and it will kill them.
    And I will set my eye upon them for disaster and not for good.
