I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the
womb to the
grave.

womb to the
grave.
Oh that thou wouldest hide me in the
grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest
appoint me a set time, and remember me!
If only You would hide me in
Sheol and
conceal me until Your anger has passed! If only You would
appoint a time for me and then remember me!
My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me.
“My spirit is broken; my days are
extinguished; the
grave awaits me.

If I look for
Sheol as my home, if I spread out my bed in darkness,

graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!

spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the
grave.

spend their days in prosperity and go down to
Sheol in peace.
Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb.
He is carried to the grave, and watch is kept over his tomb.
Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the
grave, though they cry in his destruction.
Yet no one stretches out his hand to a ruined man when he
cries for help in his distress.
Yea, his soul draweth near unto the
grave, and his life to the destroyers.
He draws near to the Pit, and his life to the messengers of death.
Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.
Bury them together in the dust; imprison them in the
grave.
For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open
sepulchre; they
flatter with their tongue.
For not a word they speak can be trusted; destruction lies within them. Their throats are open
graves; their tongues practice
deceit.
For in death there is no
remembrance of thee: in the
grave who shall give thee
thanks?
For there is no mention of You in death; who can praise You from
Sheol?
O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
O LORD, You pulled me up from
Sheol; You
spared me from descending into the Pit.
Let me not be
ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be
ashamed, and let them be silent in the
grave.
O LORD, let me not be
ashamed, for I have called on You. Let the wicked be put to shame; let them lie silent in
Sheol.
Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.
Their graves are their eternal homes— their dwellings for endless generations— even though their lands were their namesakes.
Like sheep they are laid in the
grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall
consume in the
grave from their dwelling.
Like sheep they are destined for
Sheol. Death will be their
shepherd. The upright will rule them in the morning, and their form will decay in
Sheol, far from their lofty abode.
But God will
redeem my soul from the power of the
grave: for he shall receive me.
Selah.
But God will
redeem my life from
Sheol, for He will surely take me to Himself.
SelahFor they
provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their
graven images.
They
enraged Him with their high places and
provoked His jealousy with their idols.
For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth
nigh unto the
grave.
For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draws near to
Sheol.
Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.

forsaken among the dead, like the slain who lie in the
grave, whom You remember no more, who are cut off from Your care.
Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?
Can Your loving devotion be proclaimed in the
grave, Your faithfulness in
Abaddon?
What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the
grave?
Selah.
What man can live and never see death? Can he deliver his soul from the power of
Sheol?
SelahConfounded be all they that serve
graven images, that
boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.
All worshipers of images are put to shame— those who
boast in idols. Worship Him, all you gods!
Our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.
As when one plows and breaks up the soil, so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of
Sheol.
Let us
swallow them up alive as the
grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
let us
swallow them alive like
Sheol, and whole like those descending into the Pit.
Bread of
deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with
gravel.
Food gained by
fraud is sweet to a man, but later his mouth is full of
gravel.
The
grave; and the barren
womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.
Sheol, the barren
womb, land never satisfied with water, and fire that never says, ‘Enough!’
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor
device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the
grave,
whither thou goest.
Whatever you find to do with your hands, do it with all your might, for in
Sheol, where you are going, there is no work or
planning or knowledge or wisdom.
Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the
grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most
vehement flame.
Set me as a seal over your heart, as a seal upon your arm. For love is as strong as death, its jealousy as
unrelenting as
Sheol. Its sparks are
fiery flames, the fiercest
blaze of all.
As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose
graven images did
excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;
As my hand seized the
idolatrous kingdoms whose images surpassed those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
Thy
pomp is brought down to the
grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.
Your
pomp has been brought down to
Sheol, along with the music of your harps. Maggots are your bed and worms your
blanket.
But thou art cast out of thy
grave like an
abominable branch, and as the
raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a
carcase trodden under feet.
But you are cast out of your
grave like a rejected branch, covered by those slain with the sword, and
dumped into a rocky pit like a
carcass trampled underfoot.
And, behold, here cometh a
chariot of men, with a couple of
horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the
graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.
Look, here come the riders,
horsemen in pairs.” And one answered, saying: “Fallen, fallen is Babylon! All the images of her gods lie
shattered on the ground!”
What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast
hewed thee out a
sepulchre here, as he that heweth him out a
sepulchre on high, and that
graveth an
habitation for himself in a rock?
What are you doing here, and who authorized you to
carve out a tomb for
yourself here—to
chisel your tomb in the height and cut your resting place in the rock?
Ye shall
defile also the covering of thy
graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy
molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a
menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence.
So you will
desecrate your silver-plated idols and your gold-plated images. You will throw them away like
menstrual cloths, saying to them, “Be gone!”
I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I am deprived of the residue of my years.
I said, “In the prime of my life I must go through the gates of
Sheol and be deprived of the remainder of my years.”
For the
grave cannot praise thee, death can not
celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.
For
Sheol cannot
thank You; Death cannot praise You. Those who descend to the Pit cannot hope for Your faithfulness.
To an
idol that a
craftsman casts and a metalworker overlays with gold and fits with silver chains?
I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to
graven images.
I am the LORD; that is My name! I will not yield My glory to another or My praise to idols.
They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly
ashamed, that trust in
graven images, that say to the
molten images, Ye are our gods.
But those who trust in idols and say to
molten images, ‘You are our gods!’ will be turned back in utter shame.
They that make a
graven image are all of them vanity; and their
delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be
ashamed.
All makers of idols are nothing, and the things they
treasure are worthless. Their witnesses fail to see or
comprehend, so they are put to shame.
Who hath formed a god, or
molten a
graven image that is profitable for nothing?
Who fashions a god or casts an
idol which profits him nothing?
Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself;
yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread;
yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a
graven image, and falleth down
thereto.
It serves as fuel for man. He takes some of it to warm himself, and he kindles a fire and bakes his bread; he even fashions it into a god and worships it; he makes an
idol and bows down to it.
