And all his sons and daughters tried to console him, but he refused to be consoled. And he said, "No, I shall go down to my son, to Sheol, mourning." And his father wept for him.

But he said, "My son shall not go down with you, for his brother is dead and he alone remains. [If] harm meets him on the journey that you would take, you would bring down my gray head in sorrow to Sheol."

And if you take this one also from me, and he encounters harm, you will bring down my gray head in sorrow to Sheol.'

it shall happen [that] when he sees that the boy is gone, he will die. And your servants will bring down the gray head of your servant, our father, to Sheol with sorrow.

But if Yahweh creates something new, and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them up and {all that belongs to them}, and they go down alive [to] Sheol, and you will know that these men have despised Yahweh."

They went down alive [to] Sheol, they and all that belonged to them, and the land covered over them, and they perished from the midst of the assembly.

For a fire was kindled by my anger, and it burned {up to the depths of Sheol}, and it devoured [the] earth and its produce, and it set afire the foundation of [the] mountains.

Yahweh kills and restores alive, he brings down [to] Sheol and raises up.

The ropes of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me.

You must act according to your wisdom, but you must not let his gray hair go down to Sheol in peace.

So then, do not leave him unpunished, for you [are] a wise man, and you will know what you must do to him. You must bring his grey hair down to Sheol with blood."

A cloud vanishes, and it goes away, so [he who] goes down to Sheol will not come up.

{It is higher than the heaven}; what can you do? [It is] deeper than Sheol; what can you know?

"{O that} you would conceal me in Sheol, [that] you would hide me {until your wrath is past}, [that] you would appoint a set time for me and remember me.

If I hope [for] Sheol [as] my house, [if] I spread my couch in the darkness,

Will they go down [to] the bars of Sheol? Or shall we descend together into the dust?"

They spend their days in prosperity, and in peace they go down to Sheol.

Drought and heat snatch away [the] snow waters, [like] Sheol [snatches away] those [who have] sinned.

Sheol [is] naked before him, and there is no covering for Abaddon.

For there is no remembrance of you in death. In Sheol, who will give thanks to you?

[The] wicked shall turn back to Sheol, all [the] nations forgetting God,

for you will not abandon my soul to Sheol; you will not give your faithful one to see [the] grave.

The ropes of Sheol surrounded me; [the] snares of death confronted me.

O Yahweh, you have brought my life up from Sheol. You preserved me alive from among those going down to [the] pit.

O Yahweh, let me not be put to shame, for I call on you. Let the wicked be put to shame. Let them [go] silently to Sheol.

Like sheep they are destined to Sheol; death will shepherd them. But the upright will rule over them in the morning, and their forms [will be for] Sheol to consume, [far from] his lofty abode.

Surely God will ransom my life from the {power} of Sheol, because he will receive me. Selah

Let death deceive them. May they descend to Sheol alive, because evil [is] in their home [and] {heart}.

because your loyal love [is] great toward me, and you will have delivered my life from Sheol below.

For my soul is full with troubles, and my life approaches Sheol.

What man can live [on] and not see death? Can he deliver his life from the {power} of Sheol? Selah

[The] ropes of death encircled me, and the distresses of Sheol found me. I found trouble and grief.

If I ascend to heaven, there you [are], and if I make my bed [in] Sheol, look! [There] you [are].

As [when one] plows and breaks up the earth, [so] our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.

Like Sheol, we will swallow them alive and whole, {like those who descend to the pit}.

Her feet go down [to] death; her steps take hold [of] Sheol.

The ways of Sheol [are] her house, descending to chambers of death.

But he does not know that the dead [are] there, in the depths of Sheol [are] her guests.

Sheol and Abaddon [are] before Yahweh, {how much more} the hearts of the children of men!

The path of life [leads] upward for him who has insight, in order to turn away from Sheol below.

As for you, with the rod you shall beat him, and his life you will save from Sheol.

Sheol and Abaddon will not be satisfied, and the eyes of a person will not be satisfied [either].

Sheol and barrenness of womb, the land is not satisfied [with] water, and fire does not say "enough!"

Whatever your hand finds to do--do [it] with [all] your might; for in Sheol--where you are going--no one works, plans, knows, or thinks about anything.

Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for love [is] strong as death; passion [is] fierce as Sheol; its flashes [are] flashes of fire; [it is] a blazing flame.

Therefore Sheol has enlarged its throat, and it has opened wide its mouth without limit, and her nobles will go down, and her multitude, her tumult and those who revel in her.

"Ask for a sign for yourself from Yahweh God; make [it] deep [as] Sheol or make [it] high as above."

Sheol below is getting excited over you, to meet {you when you come}; it arouses [the] dead spirits for you, all of [the] leaders of [the] earth. It raises all of [the] kings of [the] nations from their thrones.

Your pride is brought down [to] Sheol, [and] the sound of your harps; maggots are spread out beneath you like a bed, and your covering is worms.

But you are brought down to Sheol, to [the] depths of [the] pit.

Because you have said, "We have {made} a covenant with death, and we have made an agreement with Sheol. [The] overwhelming flood, when it passes through, will not come to us, for we have made lies our refuge, and we have hidden ourselves in falsehood."

And your covenant with death will be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol will not stand; you will become a trampling place for the overwhelming flood when it passes through.

I was the one who said, "I must go in the quiet of my days; I am summoned through the gates of Sheol [for] the rest of my years."

For Sheol cannot praise you; death [cannot] praise you. Those who go down [to the] pit cannot hope for your faithfulness.

And you climbed down to the king with oil, and you made your perfumes numerous, and you sent your envoys {far away}, and you {sent down deep} to Sheol.

Thus says the Lord Yahweh: "On the day of its going down [to] Sheol, I caused mourning; I covered over it [with] the deep, and I withheld its rivers, and many waters were restrained, and I brought gloom over it; Lebanon and all of the trees of the field, they [had] fainted because of it.

From the sound of its downfall I caused nations to shake when I made it go down to Sheol, with [the people] going down to [the] grave, and [so] in [the] world below all of the trees of Eden, [the] choice and the best of Lebanon, {all the well-watered trees} were comforted!

They also went down with it to Sheol to {those who died by the sword}, and its army [who] [had] lived in its shadow in the midst of nations.

[The] chiefs of [the] warriors will speak to him from the middle of Sheol; with his helpers they have gone down; the uncircumcised lie [still], {those slain by the sword}.

And they do not lie with warriors fallen from long ago, who went down [to] Sheol with their weapons of war, and they placed their sword under their heads, and their shields were on their bones, for [the] terror of [the] warriors [was] in [the] land of the living.

Should I redeem them from {the power} of Sheol? Should I deliver them from death? Where [are] your plagues, Death? Where [is] your destruction, Sheol? Compassion is hidden from my eyes.

If they dig into Sheol, from there my hand will take them, and [even] if they climb up [to] heaven, from there I will bring them down.

and said, "I called {from my distress} to Yahweh, and he answered me; from the belly of Sheol I cried for help-- you heard my voice.

{How much less} the defiant; [the] arrogant, treacherous man? He who broadens his throat like Sheol, and who, like death, is not satisfied, and who gathers to himself all the nations, and harvested for himself all the peoples, will not succeed.
