²⁷ And they shall not lie with the mighty that are fallen of the uncircumcised, that are gone down to Sheol with their weapons of war, and have laid their swords under their heads, and their iniquities are upon their bones; for `they were' the terror of the mighty in the land of the living.

¹⁸ All the kings of the nations, all of them, sleep in glory, every one in his own house.

¹⁹ But thou art cast forth away from thy sepulchre like an abominable branch, clothed with the slain, that are thrust through with the sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a dead body trodden under foot.

²¹ The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of Sheol with them that help him: they are gone down, they lie still, even the uncircumcised, slain by the sword.

¹⁸ He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment, And it came into his inward parts like water, And like oil into his bones.

¹¹ His bones are full of his youth, But it shall lie down with him in the dust.

¹³ For now should I have lain down and been quiet; I should have slept; then had I been at rest,

¹⁴ With kings and counsellors of the earth, Who built up waste places for themselves;

¹⁵ Or with princes that had gold, Who filled their houses with silver:

⁴ (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds),

²⁴ I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for except ye believe that I am `he', ye shall die in your sins.

²⁰ The soul that sinneth, it shall die: the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

¹⁷ No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of Jehovah, and their righteousness which is of me, saith Jehovah.

³² The wicked is thrust down in his evil-doing; But the righteous hath a refuge in his death.

⁹ For, lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, thine enemies shall perish; All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

⁷ When the wicked spring as the grass, And when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; It is that they shall be destroyed for ever.

¹⁴ They are appointed as a flock for Sheol; Death shall be their shepherd; And the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; And their beauty shall be for Sheol to consume, That there be no habitation for it.
