Isa 14:9-12, 38:10-12, Eze 32:18-32 | ESV | STEP | Sheol beneath is stirred up to meet you when you come ; it rouses the shades to greet you, all who were leaders of the earth ; it raises from their thrones all who were kings of the nations .

9 Sheol beneath is stirred up
to meet you when you come;
it rouses the shades to greet you,
all who were leaders of the earth;
it raises from their thrones
all who were kings of the nations.
10 ^aAll of them will answer
and say to you:
‘You too have become as weak as we!
You have become like us!’
11 Your pomp is brought down to Sheol,
the sound of your harps;
maggots are laid as a bed beneath you,
and worms are your covers.
12 “How ^byou are fallen from heaven,
O Day Star, ^cson of Dawn!
How you are cut down to the ground,
you who laid the nations low!

Isaiah 38:10-12

10 I said, ^dIn 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.
11 I said, I shall not see the Lord,
the Lord ^fin the land of the living;
I shall look on man no more
among the inhabitants of the world.
12 My dwelling is plucked up and removed from me
^glike a shepherd’s tent;
^hlike a weaver ⁱI have rolled up my life;
^jhe cuts me off from the loom;
^kfrom day to night you bring me to an end;

Ezekiel 32:18-32

18 ^l“Son of man, ^mwail over ⁿthe multitude of Egypt, and ^osend them down, her and the daughters of majestic nations, ^pto the world below, to those who have gone down to the pit:

19 ^q‘Whom do you surpass in beauty?
Go down and ^rbe laid to rest with the uncircumcised.’
20 They shall fall amid those ^swho are slain by the sword. Egypt ^{▼▼Hebrew She} is delivered to the sword; drag her away, and ^uall her multitudes. 21 The mighty chiefs ^vshall speak of them, ^wwith their helpers, out of the midst of Sheol: ‘They have come down, they lie still, ^xthe uncircumcised, ^yslain by the sword.’

22 ^z“Assyria is there, and all her company, ^aaits graves all around it, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, 23 whose graves are set in ^abthe uttermost parts of the pit; and her company is all around her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, ^acwho spread terror ^adin the land of the living.

24 ^ae“Elam is ^afthere, and all her multitude around her grave; all of them ^agslain, fallen by the sword, who went down uncircumcised into ^ahthe world below, who spread their terror in the land of the living; and ^aithey bear their shame ^ajwith those who go down to the pit. 25 ^akThey have made her a bed among the slain with all her multitude, ^alher graves all around it, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for terror of them was spread in the land of the living, and they bear their shame with those who go down to the pit; they are placed among the slain.

26 ^am“Meshech-Tubal is ^anthere, and all her multitude, ^aoher graves all around it, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for they spread their terror in the land of the living. 27 And ^apthey do not lie with the mighty, the fallen from among the uncircumcised, who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war, whose swords were laid under their heads, and whose iniquities are upon their bones; for the terror of the mighty men was in the land of the living. 28 But as for you, you shall be broken ^aqand lie among the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword.

29 ^ar“Edom is ^asthere, her kings and all her princes, who for all their might are laid with those who are killed by the sword; they lie with the uncircumcised, with those who go down to the pit.

30 “The princes ^atof the north are there, all of them, and all the ^auSidonians, who have gone down in shame with the slain, ^avfor all the terror that they caused by their might; they lie uncircumcised with those who are slain by the sword, and ^awbear their shame with those who go down to the pit.

31 “When Pharaoh sees them, he ^axwill be comforted for ^ayall his multitude, Pharaoh and all his army, slain by the sword, declares the Lord God. 32 ^azFor I spread terror ^bain the land of the living; and he shall be laid to rest among ^bbthe uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword, Pharaoh and all his multitude, declares the Lord God.”
