Job 18:13-14, 33:18-28, Psa 88:4-8, 143:7, Isa 38:17-18, Jon 2:6 | ESV | STEP | It consumes the parts of his skin ; the firstborn of death consumes his limbs .

Job 18:13-14

13 It consumes the parts of his skin;
^athe firstborn of death consumes his limbs.
14 He is torn from the tent in which he trusted
and is brought to ^bthe king of terrors.

Job 33:18-28

18 he keeps back his soul from the pit,
his life from ^cperishing by the sword.
19 “Man is also rebuked with pain on his bed
and with continual strife in his ^dbones,
20 so that his ^elife loathes bread,
and his appetite ^fthe choicest food.
21 His flesh is so wasted away that it cannot be seen,
and his bones that were not seen ^gstick out.
22 His soul draws near ^hthe pit,
and his life to ⁱthose who bring death.
23 If there be for him ^jan angel,
^ka mediator, ^lone of the thousand,
to declare to man what is ^mright for him,
24 and he is merciful to him, and says,
‘Deliver him from going down into the pit;
I have found ⁿa ransom;
25 let his flesh ^obecome fresh with youth;
let him return to the days of his youthful vigor’;
26 then man ^{▼▼Hebrew he} ^qprays to God, and he accepts him;
he ^rsees his face with a shout of joy,
and he ^srestores to man his righteousness.
27 He sings before men and says:
‘I ^tsinned and perverted what was right,
and it was not repaid to me.
28 He has redeemed my ^usoul from going down ^vinto the pit,
and my life shall ^wlook upon the light.’

Psalms 88:4-8

4 I am counted among those who ^xgo down to the pit;
I am a man who has no strength,
5 like one set loose among the dead,
like the slain that lie in the grave,
like those whom ^yyou remember no more,
for they are ^zcut off from your hand.
6 You have put me in ^aathe depths of the pit,
in the ^abregions dark and ^acdeep.
7 Your wrath ^adlies heavy upon me,
and you overwhelm me with ^aeall your waves. Selah
8 You have caused ^afmy companions to shun me;
you have made me ^aga horror ^{▼▼Or an abomination} to them.
I am ^aishut in so that I cannot escape;

Psalms 143:7

7 ^ajAnswer me quickly, O Lord!
^akMy spirit fails!
^alHide not your face from me,
^amlest I be like those who go down to the pit.

Isaiah 38:17-18

17 ^anBehold, it was for my welfare
that I had great bitterness;
^aobut in love you have delivered my life
from the pit of destruction,
^apfor you have cast all my sins
behind your back.
18 ^aqFor Sheol does not thank you;
death does not praise you;
those who go down to the pit do not hope
for your faithfulness.

Jonah 2:6

6 at the roots of the mountains.
I went down to the land
whose bars closed upon me forever;
yet you brought up my life from the pit,
O Lord my God.
