19 And I was like a male lamb, an intimate one, that is brought to slaughter,+ and I did not know that it was against me that they thought out schemes:+ “Let us bring to ruin the tree with its food, and let us cut him off from the land of the living ones,+ that his very name may no more be remembered.”

20 I will also bring you down with those going down into the pit to the people of long ago,+ and I will cause you to dwell in the lowest land,+ like places devastated for a long time, with those going down into the pit,+ in order that you may not be inhabited; and I will put decoration in the land of those alive.+
