²² It is all the same; that is why I say,
    ‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’^(A)

⁹ The realm of the dead^(A) below is all astir
    to meet you at your coming;

    all those who were kings over the nations.^(D)

“You also have become weak, as we are;
    you have become like us.”^(E)
