⁸ They are higher than the heavens—what can you do?
They are deeper than Sheol—what can you know?^(A)

¹⁶ Will it go down to the gates of Sheol,^(A)
or will we descend together to the dust?

² If they dig down to Sheol,^(A)
from there my hand will take them;
if they climb up to heaven,^(B)
from there I will bring them down.
