Let’s swallow them alive, as the grave does. Let’s swallow them whole, like those who go down into the pit.

我们好像阴间，把他们活活吞下；他们如同下坑的人，被我们囫囵吞了；

我们好像阴间，把他们活活吞下，囫囵吞下，如吞下那下到地府的人；

我们好像阴间，把他们活活吞下，囫囵吞下，如吞下那下到地府的人；

我们要像阴间一样生吞他们，整个吞没他们，使他们如坠入坟墓的人；

我们要好像阴间一般，把他们活生生吞下，他们整个被我们吞下，如同下坑的人一样；

让我们活活地囫囵吞掉他们，就像阴间吞掉那些下阴坑的人；

我們好像陰間，把他們活活吞下；他們如同下坑的人，被我們囫圇吞了；

我們好像陰間，把他們活活吞下，囫圇吞下，如吞下那下到地府的人；

我們好像陰間，把他們活活吞下，囫圇吞下，如吞下那下到地府的人；

我們要像陰間一樣生吞他們，整個吞沒他們，使他們如墜入墳墓的人；

我們要好像陰間一般，把他們活生生吞下，他們整個被我們吞下，如同下坑的人一樣；

我們來像陰間、把他們活活吞下去，健全無病地吞下，使他們如下陰坑的人；

讓我們活活地囫圇吞掉他們，就像陰間吞掉那些下陰坑的人；

生吞之如陰府、俾其壯健入墓、

彼猶生存、害之至死、如塚中尸僵、弗能動也。

生吞之如示阿勒、示阿勒有譯黃泉有譯陰府有譯墳墓彼雖正直、我亦害之、彼雖正直我亦害之或作將彼全然吞滅使如已下墓之人、

let’s swallow them alive, like the grave, and whole, like those who go down to the pit;

like Sheol let us swallow them alive, and whole, like those who go down to the pit;

Let’s swallow them alive, like the grave; let’s swallow them whole, like those who go down to the pit of death.

Let’s swallow them alive, like Sheol, whole, like those who go down to the Pit.

Let’s swallow them alive like Sheol, Even whole, like those who go down to the pit;

Let us swallow them alive like Sheol, And whole, like those who go down to the Pit;

Let us swallow them up alive as Sheol, And whole, as those that go down into the pit;

Let’s swallow them alive, like Sheol, still healthy as they go down to the Pit.

Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:

We will swallow them alive like Sheol, those full of vigor like those going down to the Pit.

Let’s swallow them up alive like Sheol, and whole, like those who go down into the pit.

Suppose he had not been on our side when their burning anger blazed out against us. Then they would have swallowed us alive.

Lord, my Rock, I call out to you. Pay attention to me. If you remain silent, I will die. I will be like those who go down into the grave.

“ Their throats are like open graves. With their tongues they tell lies.”( Psalm 5:9)“ The words from their lips are like the poison of a snake.”( Psalm 140:3)

Don’t let them think,“ That’s exactly what we wanted!” Don’t let them say,“ We have swallowed him up.”

But the Lord will make something totally new happen. The ground will open its mouth and swallow them up. It will swallow up everything that belongs to them. They will be buried alive. When that happens, you will know that these men have disrespected the Lord.”As soon as Moses finished saying all these words, what he had said came true. The ground under them broke open.It opened its mouth. It swallowed up those men. In fact, it swallowed up everyone who lived in their houses. It swallowed all Korah’s men. And it swallowed up everything they owned.They went down into the grave alive. Everything they owned went down with them. The ground closed over them and they died. And so they disappeared from the community.

But you hate what is good. And you love what is evil. You are like someone who tears the skin off my people. You pull the meat off their bones.You eat my people’s bodies. You strip off their skin. You break their bones in pieces. You chop them up like meat. You put them in a cooking pot.”

Not a word from their mouths can be trusted. Their hearts are filled with a desire to hurt others. Their throats are like open graves. With their tongues they tell lies.

All your enemies open their mouths wide against you. They laugh at you and grind their teeth. They say,“ We have swallowed up Jerusalem’s people. This is the day we’ve waited for. And we’ve lived to see it.”

He answers from heaven and saves me. He puts to shame those who chase me. He shows his love and that he is faithful.

Help me, God. Men are chasing me. All day long they keep attacking me.My enemies chase me all day long. Many proud people are attacking me.

The people of Jerusalem say,“ Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, has destroyed us. He has thrown us into a panic. He has emptied us out like a jar. Like a snake he has swallowed us up. He has filled his stomach with our rich food. Then he has spit us out of his mouth.”

The Lord was like an enemy. He swallowed up Israel. He swallowed up all of its palaces. He destroyed its forts. He filled the people of Judah with sorrow and sadness.

The ground opened its mouth. It swallowed them up along with Korah. The followers of Korah died when fire burned up 250 men. Their deaths were a warning to the rest of Israel.

Lord, answer me quickly. I’m growing weak. Don’t turn your face away from me, or I will be like those who go down into the grave.
