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

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 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.

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

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 stretched out his hand to destroy Jerusalem, the Lord relented concerning the disaster and said to the angel who was afflicting the people,“ Enough! Withdraw your hand.” The angel of the Lord was then at the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

“ The Lord brings death and makes alive; he brings down to the grave and raises up.

Remember, O God, that my life is but a breath; my eyes will never see happiness again.

If the only home I hope for is the grave, if I spread out my bed in the realm of darkness,if I say to corruption,‘ You are my father,’ and to the worm,‘ My mother’ or‘ My sister,’where then is my hope— who can see any hope for me?Will it go down to the gates of death? Will we descend together into the dust?”

Terrifying sounds fill his ears; when all seems well, marauders attack him.

My spirit is broken, my days are cut short, the grave awaits me.

And do not grumble, as some of them did— and were killed by the destroying angel.

They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon and in Greek is Apollyon( that is, Destroyer).

Immediately, because Herod did not give praise to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died.

God has delivered me from going down to the pit, and I shall live to enjoy the light of life.’

Though people tried to bribe me, I have kept myself from the ways of the violent through what your lips have commanded.

I said,“ In the prime of my life must I go through the gates of death and be robbed of the rest of my years?”

You, Lord, brought me up from the realm of the dead; you spared me from going down to the pit.

I am overwhelmed with troubles and my life draws near to death.I am counted among those who go down to the pit; I am like one without strength.I am set apart with the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom you remember no more, who are cut off from your care.

When the Lord goes through the land to strike down the Egyptians, he will see the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe and will pass over that doorway, and he will not permit the destroyer to enter your houses and strike you down.
