Ezekiel 28:8-9
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
8 They shall thrust you down into the pit:
you shall die a violent death
in the heart of the sea.
9 Then, face to face with your killers,
will you still say, “I am a god”?
No, you are a man, not a god,
handed over to those who slay you.
Ezekiel 32:23
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
23 The graves are set
in the recesses of the pit;
Its company is assembled
around its grave,
All of them slain, fallen by the sword,
those who spread terror in the land of the living.(A)
Matthew 11:23
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
23 [a]And as for you, Capernaum:
‘Will you be exalted to heaven?(A)
You will go down to the netherworld.’
For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
