¹⁹ and were as though I had not been,
    carried from the womb to the grave.

¹⁶ For as you have drunk on my holy mountain,
    all the nations shall drink continually;
they shall drink and gulp down^[a]
    and shall be as though they had never been.^(A)

⁹ But of others there is no memory;
    they have perished as though they had never existed;
they have become as though they had never been born,
    they and their children after them.^(A)
