Numbers 16:30

Easy To Read Version

But if the Lord causes these men to die in a different way—something new—then you will know that these men have truly sinned against the Lord. {This is the proof:} the earth will open and swallow these men. They will go down to their grave still alive. And everything that belongs to these men will go down with them.”
