Sheol in the Bible

“When a cloud vanishes, it is gone,
So he who goes down to Sheol does not come up.

Heights of the heavens! -- what dost thou? Deeper than Sheol! -- what knowest thou?

O that in Sheol Thou wouldest conceal me, Hide me till the turning of Thine anger, Set for me a limit, and remember me.

If I wait -- Sheol is my house, In darkness I have spread out my couch.

To the parts of Sheol ye go down, If together on the dust we may rest.

They wear out in good their days, And in a moment to Sheol go down.

Drought -- also heat -- consume snow-waters, Sheol those who have sinned.

Naked is Sheol over-against Him, And there is no covering to destruction.

He keeps back his soul from the pit,
And his life from passing over into Sheol.
