Hell

Sheol below is eager to greet your coming.
He stirs up the spirits of the departed for you—
all the rulers of the earth.
He makes all the kings of the nations
rise from their thrones.

Indeed! Topheth has been ready
for the king for a long time now.
Its funeral pyre is deep and wide,
with plenty of fire and wood.

kindles it.

Like sheep they are headed for Sheol;
Death will shepherd them.
The upright will rule over them in the morning,
and their form will waste away in Sheol,
far from their lofty abode.

Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied,
and people’s eyes are never satisfied.

an arrogant man is never at rest.

and like Death he is never satisfied.

he collects all the peoples for himself.

still healthy as they go down to the Pit.

He that rejoiceth

horror terrifies me.
He has turned my last glimmer of hope
into sheer terror.

Now Absalom commanded his young men, “Watch Amnon until he is in a good mood from the wine. When I order you to strike Amnon, then kill him. Don’t be afraid. Am I not the one who has commanded you? Be strong and courageous!”

Let death take them by surprise;
let them go down to Sheol alive,
because evil is in their homes and within them.

So they brought in the gold vessels that had been taken from the temple, the house of God in Jerusalem, and the king and his nobles, wives, and concubines drank from them.

For they will be consumed
like entangled thorns,
like the drink of a drunkard
and like straw that is fully dry.
