They will remove their robes and strip off their embroidered clothes; they will clothe themselves with trembling.

| 20then I will bring you down with those who descend into the Pit, to the people of old, and I will make you dwell in the lowest part of the earth, in places desolate from antiquity, with those who go down to the Pit, so that you may never be inhabited; and I shall establish glory in the land of the living. | 20then I will bring you down to bygone people, to be with those who descend to the pit. I will make you live in the lower parts of the earth, among the primeval ruins, with those who descend to the pit, so that you will not be inhabited or stand in the land of the living. |
| 21I will make you a terror, and you shall be no more; though you are sought for, you will never be found again,’ says the Lord GOD.” | 21I will bring terrors on you, and you will be no more! Though you are sought after, you will never be found again, declares the sovereign LORD." |
