Hell » In the rv the word "sheol" itself occurs in the following scriptures
If I were to ascend to heaven, you would be there. If I were to sprawl out in Sheol, there you would be.
The underworld is naked before God; the place of destruction lies uncovered.
You will not abandon me to Sheol; you will not allow your faithful follower to see the Pit.
If you strike him with the rod, you will deliver him from death.
The wicked are turned back and sent to Sheol; this is the destiny of all the nations that ignore God,
The ropes of death tightened around me, the snares of Sheol confronted me. I was confronted with trouble and sorrow.
Death and Destruction are before the Lord -- how much more the hearts of humans!
As Death and Destruction are never satisfied, so the eyes of a person are never satisfied.
It is higher than the heavens -- what can you do? It is deeper than Sheol -- what can you know?
Her feet go down to death; her steps lead straight to the grave.
Her house is the way to the grave, going down to the chambers of death.
But they do not realize that the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of the grave.
The path of life is upward for the wise person, to keep him from going downward to Sheol.

For the music director; by the Lord's servant David, who sang to the Lord the words of this song when the Lord rescued him from the power of all his enemies, including Saul. He said: "I love you, Lord, my source of strength! The Lord is my high ridge, my stronghold, my deliverer. My God is my rocky summit where I take shelter, my shield, the horn that saves me, and my refuge. I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I was delivered from my enemies. read more.
The waves of death engulfed me, the currents of chaos overwhelmed me. The ropes of Sheol tightened around me, the snares of death trapped me. In my distress I called to the Lord; I cried out to my God. From his heavenly temple he heard my voice; he listened to my cry for help. The earth heaved and shook; the roots of the mountains trembled; they heaved because he was angry. Smoke ascended from his nose; fire devoured as it came from his mouth; he hurled down fiery coals. He made the sky sink as he descended; a thick cloud was under his feet. He mounted a winged angel and flew; he glided on the wings of the wind. He shrouded himself in darkness, in thick rain clouds. From the brightness in front of him came hail and fiery coals. The Lord thundered in the sky; the sovereign One shouted. He shot his arrows and scattered them, many lightning bolts and routed them. The depths of the sea were exposed; the inner regions of the world were uncovered by your battle cry, Lord, by the powerful breath from your nose. He reached down from above and took hold of me; he pulled me from the surging water. He rescued me from my strong enemy, from those who hate me, for they were too strong for me. They confronted me in my day of calamity, but the Lord helped me. He brought me out into a wide open place; he delivered me because he was pleased with me.
