No, my hope will go down with me to the grave. We will rest together in the dust!”

等到安息在尘土中，这指望必下到阴间的门闩那里了。”

这盼望要下到阴间的门闩吗？要一起在尘土中安息吗？”

这盼望要下到阴间的门闩吗？要一起在尘土中安息吗？”

我的希望会跟我进入阴间，与我同归尘土吗？”

等到安息在尘土中的时候，那些指望必下到阴间的门闩那里。”

等到安息在塵土中，這指望必下到陰間的門閂那裏了。

這盼望要下到陰間的門閂嗎？要一起在塵土中安息嗎？」

這盼望要下到陰間的門閂嗎？要一起在塵土中安息嗎？」

我的希望會跟我進入陰間，與我同歸塵土嗎？」

等到安息在塵土中的時候，那些指望必下到陰間的門閂那裡。”

所指望的要同我下到陰間麼？或是我們要一同落於塵土中呢？』

迨至安寢於土、則所望者、下及陰府之楗而已、

必歸陰府、安寢於土、所望之福、歸於烏有。

既安寢於土、則歸示阿勒示阿勒見七章九節小註之深處矣、或作必下至示阿勒之荒墟必同寢於土中

Will it go down to the gates of death? Will we descend together into the dust?”

Will hope go down to the gates of death with me? Will we go down together into the dust of the grave?”

Will it go down to the bars of Sheol? Shall we descend together into the dust?”

Will it go down to the gates of Sheol, or will we descend together to the dust?

Will it go down with me to Sheol? Shall we together go down into the dust?”

Will they go down to the gates of Sheol? Shall we have rest together in the dust?”

It shall go down to the bars of Sheol, When once there is rest in the dust.

Will it go down to the gates of Sheol, or will we descend together to the dust?

They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when[ our] rest together[ is] in the dust.

Will it go down to the barred gates of death? Will we descend together into the dust?”

For in death the wicked cause no trouble, and the weary are at rest.Even captives are at ease in death, with no guards to curse them.Rich and poor are both there, and the slave is free from his master.

I sank down to the very roots of the mountains. I was imprisoned in the earth, whose gates lock shut forever. But you, O Lord my God, snatched me from the jaws of death!

In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God, who raises the dead.

I am as good as dead, like a strong man with no strength left.They have left me among the dead, and I lie like a corpse in a grave. I am forgotten, cut off from your care.You have thrown me into the lowest pit, into the darkest depths.Your anger weighs me down; with wave after wave you have engulfed me. InterludeYou have driven my friends away by making me repulsive to them. I am in a trap with no way of escape.

Come quickly, Lord, and answer me, for my depression deepens. Don’t turn away from me, or I will die.

Disease eats their skin; death devours their limbs.They are torn from the security of their homes and are brought down to the king of terrors.

Yes, this anguish was good for me, for you have rescued me from death and forgiven all my sins.For the dead cannot praise you; they cannot raise their voices in praise. Those who go down to the grave can no longer hope in your faithfulness.

Then he said to me,“ Son of man, these bones represent the people of Israel. They are saying,‘ We have become old, dry bones— all hope is gone. Our nation is finished.’

He protects them from the grave, from crossing over the river of death.“ Or God disciplines people with pain on their sickbeds, with ceaseless aching in their bones.They lose their appetite for even the most delicious food.Their flesh wastes away, and their bones stick out.They are at death’s door; the angels of death wait for them.“ But if an angel from heaven appears— a special messenger to intercede for a person and declare that he is upright—he will be gracious and say,‘ Rescue him from the grave, for I have found a ransom for his life.’Then his body will become as healthy as a child’s, firm and youthful again.When he prays to God, he will be accepted. And God will receive him with joy and restore him to good standing.He will declare to his friends,‘ I sinned and twisted the truth, but it was not worth it.God rescued me from the grave, and now my life is filled with light.’
