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

¹⁵ ‘Thus says the Lord God, “On the day when it went down to Sheol I ^(C)caused lamentations; I closed the ^[c]deep over it and held back its rivers. And its many waters were stopped up, and I made Lebanon ^[d]mourn for it, and all the trees of the field wilted away on account of it.
