-
Though his sons and daughters tried to console him, he refused all consolation, saying, “No, I will go down mourning to my son in Sheol.” Thus did his father weep for him.
-
But Jacob replied: “My son shall not go down with you. Now that his brother is dead, he is the only one left. If some disaster should befall him on the journey you must make, you would send my white head down to Sheol in grief.”
-
If you take this one away from me too, and a disaster befalls him, you will send my white head down to Sheol in grief.’
-
and your servants will thus send the white head of your servant our father down to Sheol in grief.
-
But if the Lord makes a chasm, and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them with all belonging to them, and they go down alive to Sheol, then you will know that these men have spurned the Lord.”
-
They went down alive to Sheol with all belonging to them; the earth closed over them, and they disappeared from the assembly.
-
For by my wrath a fire is kindled that has raged to the depths of Sheol, It has consumed the earth with its yield, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
-
“The Lord puts to death and gives life, casts down to Sheol and brings up again.
-
The cords of Sheol tightened; the snares of death lay in wait for me.
-
Act with all the wisdom you possess; do not let his gray head go down to Sheol in peace.
-
But you must not let him go unpunished. You are wise; you will know what to do to send his gray head down to Sheol in blood.”
-
As a cloud dissolves and vanishes, so whoever goes down to Sheol shall not come up.
-
It is higher than the heavens; what can you do? It is deeper than Sheol; what can you know?
-
Oh, that you would hide me in Sheol, shelter me till your wrath is past, fix a time to remember me!
-
If my only hope is dwelling in Sheol, and spreading my couch in darkness,
-
Will they descend with me into Sheol? Shall we go down together into the dust?
-
They live out their days in prosperity, and tranquilly go down to Sheol.
-
Drought and heat snatch away the snow waters, Sheol, those who have sinned.
-
Naked before him is Sheol, and Abaddon has no covering.
-
For in death there is no remembrance of you. Who praises you in Sheol?
-
VII
To Sheol the wicked will depart, all the nations that forget God.
-
For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor let your devout one see the pit.
-
The cords of Sheol encircled me; the snares of death lay in wait for me.
-
Lord, you brought my soul up from Sheol; you let me live, from going down to the pit.
-
Do not let me be put to shame, for I have called to you, Lord. Put the wicked to shame; reduce them to silence in Sheol.
