I will send you down into that deep hole—to the place where dead people are. You will join the people that died long ago. I will send you to the world below, like all the other old, empty cities. You will be with all the others that go down to the grave. No one will live in you then. You will never again be in the land of the living!
I mean that you are saved by grace. And you got that grace by believing. You did not save yourselves. It was a gift from God.
