Then his soul comes near to the pit, And his life to those who bring death.

他的灵魂临近深坑；他的生命近于灭命的。

他的性命临近地府，他的生命挨近灭命者。

他的性命临近地府，他的生命挨近灭命者。

他的灵魂临近深坑，他的生命濒临死亡。

他的性命接近深坑，他的生命靠近灭命的天使。

他的靈魂臨近深坑；他的生命近於滅命的。

他的性命臨近地府，他的生命挨近滅命者。

他的性命臨近地府，他的生命挨近滅命者。

他的靈魂臨近深坑，他的生命瀕臨死亡。

他的性命接近深坑，他的生命靠近滅命的天使。

他的性命臨近冥坑，他的生命近於滅命者。

其魂臨乎坑坎、其命近於殄滅、

生命臨墓、近於喪亡、

生命臨墓、離死不遠、或作其生臨於墓其命離死不遠

They draw near to the pit, and their life to the messengers of death.

They might approach the very edge of the grave. The messengers of death might come for them.

His soul draws near the pit, and his life to those who bring death.

They are at death’s door; the angels of death wait for them.

He draws near to the Pit, and his life to the executioners.

Yes, his soul draws near the Pit, And his life to the executioners.

Yea, his soul draweth near unto the pit, And his life to the destroyers.

He draws near to the Pit, and his life to the executioners.

Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.

He draws near to the place of corruption, and his life to the messengers of death.

Yes, his soul draws near to the pit, and his life to the destroyers.

When the angel extended his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, the Lord relented of the disaster and said to the angel who destroyed the people,“ It is enough! Now drop your hand!” And the angel of the Lord was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

The Lord puts to death and makes alive; He brings down to Sheol and brings up.

“ Remember that my life is a mere breath; My eye will not see goodness again.

If I hope for Sheol as my home, I make my bed in the darkness;If I call to the grave,‘ You are my father’; To the maggot,‘ my mother and my sister’;Where then is my hope? And who looks at my hope?Will it go down with me to Sheol? Shall we together go down into the dust?”

Sounds of terror are in his ears; While he is at peace the destroyer comes upon him.

“ My spirit is broken, my days are extinguished, The grave is ready for me.

Nor grumble, as some of them did, and were killed by the destroyer.

They have as king over them, the angel of the abyss; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek he has the name Apollyon.

And immediately an angel of the Lord struck him because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and died.

He has redeemed my soul from going to the pit, And my life will see the light.’

As for the works of mankind, by the word of Your lips I have kept from the ways of the violent.

I said,“ In the middle of my life I am to enter the gates of Sheol; I have been deprived of the rest of my years.”

Lord, You have brought up my soul from Sheol; You have kept me alive, that I would not go down to the pit.

For my soul has had enough troubles, And my life has approached Sheol.I am counted among those who go down to the pit; I have become like a man without strength,Abandoned among the dead, Like the slain who lie in the grave, Whom You no longer remember, And they are cut off from Your hand.

For the Lord will pass through to strike the Egyptians; but when He sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to come in to your houses to strike you.
