Verse text unavailable
Your pomp has been brought down to Sheol,along with the music of your harps.Maggots are your bedand worms your blanket.
Whereas you have been forsaken and despised,with no one passing through,I will make you an everlasting pride,a joy from age to age.
and I declared: ‘You may come this far, but no farther;here your proud waves must stop’?
