1Sa 2:6, Job 7:7, 17:1, 13-16, Psa 30:3, 88:3-5, Isa 38:10 | ESV | STEP | The Lord kills and brings to life ; he brings down to Sheol and raises up .

13 If I hope for ^eSheol as ^fmy house,
if I make my bed in darkness,
14 if I say to the pit, ‘You are my father,’
and to the worm, ‘My mother,’ or ‘My sister,’
15 where then is my hope?
Who will see my hope?
16 Will it go down to the bars of ^gSheol?
Shall we ^hdescend together ⁱinto the dust?”

Psalms 30:3

3 O Lord, you have brought up my soul from ^jSheol;
you restored me to life from among those who ^kgo down to the pit. ^{▼▼Or to life, that I should not go down to the pit}

Psalms 88:3-5

3 For my soul is full of troubles,
and ^mmy life draws near to ⁿSheol.
4 I am counted among those who ^ogo 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 ^pyou remember no more,
for they are ^qcut off from your hand.

Isaiah 38:10

10 I said, ^rIn the middle ^{▼▼Or In the quiet} of my days
I must depart;
I am consigned to the gates of Sheol
for the rest of my years.
