³⁰ But if the Lord brings about something totally new, and the earth opens its mouth^(A) and swallows them, with everything that belongs to them, and they go down alive into the realm of the dead,^(B) then you will know that these men have treated the Lord with contempt.^(C)”

³¹ As soon as he finished saying all this, the ground under them split apart^{(D) 32} and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them^(E) and their households, and all those associated with Korah, together with their possessions. ³³ They went down alive into the realm of the dead,^(F) with everything they owned; the earth closed over them, and they perished and were gone from the community.
