Then all his sons and all his daughters got up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. And he said, “Surely I will go down to Sheol in mourning for my son.” So his father wept for him.

But Jacob said, “My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he alone is left. If harm should happen to him on the journey you are taking, then you will bring my gray hair down to Sheol in sorrow.”

If you also take this one from me, and harm happens to him, you will bring my gray hair down to Sheol in sorrow.’

when he sees that the boy is not with us, he will die. So your servants will bring the gray hair of your servant, our father, down to Sheol in sorrow.

But if the Lord brings about an entirely new thing and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them with everything that is theirs, and they descend alive into Sheol, then you will know that these men have been disrespectful to the Lord.”

So they and all that belonged to them went down alive to Sheol; and the earth closed over them, and they perished from the midst of the assembly.

For a fire has flared in My anger, And it burns to the lowest part of Sheol, And devours the earth with its yield, And sets on fire the foundations of the mountains.

The Lord puts to death and makes alive; He brings down to Sheol and brings up.

The ropes of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me.

So act as your wisdom dictates, and do not let his gray hair go down to Sheol in peace.

But now do not leave him unpunished, for you are a wise man; and you will know what to do to him, and you will bring his gray hair down to Sheol with blood.”

When a cloud vanishes, it is gone; In the same way one who goes down to Sheol does not come up.

They are as high as the heavens; what can you do? Deeper than Sheol; what can you know?

“Oh that You would hide me in Sheol, That You would conceal me until Your wrath returns to You, That You would set a limit for me and remember me!

If I hope for Sheol as my home, I make my bed in the darkness;

Will it go down with me to Sheol? Shall we together go down into the dust?”

They spend their days in prosperity, And suddenly they go down to Sheol.

Dryness and heat snatch away the snow waters, As Sheol snatches those who have sinned.

Sheol is naked before Him, And Abaddon has no covering.

For there is no mention of You in death; In Sheol, who will praise You?

The wicked will return to Sheol, All the nations who forget God.

For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol; You will not allow Your Holy One to undergo decay.

The ropes of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me.

Lord, You have brought up my soul from Sheol; You have kept me alive, that I would not go down to the pit.

Let me not be put to shame, Lord, for I call upon You; Let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol.
