²¹ Speak to him do the gods of the mighty out of the midst of sheol, With his helpers -- they have gone down, They have lain with the uncircumcised, The pierced of the sword.

⁹ Sheol beneath hath been troubled at thee, To meet thy coming in, It is waking up for thee Rephaim, All chiefs ones of earth, It hath raised up from their thrones All kings of nations.

¹⁰ All of them answer and say unto thee, Even thou hast become weak like us! Unto us thou hast become like!

²⁷ And they lie not with the mighty, Who are falling of the uncircumcised, Who have gone down to sheol with their weapons of war, And they put their swords under their heads, And their iniquities are on their bones, For the terror of the mighty `is' in the land of the living.

²³ and in the hades having lifted up his eyes, being in torments, he doth see Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom,

²⁴ and having cried, he said, Father Abraham, deal kindly with me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and may cool my tongue, because I am distressed in this flame.

²⁴ There `is' Elam, and all her multitude, Round about `is' her grave, All of them wounded, who are falling by sword, Who have gone down uncircumcised unto the earth -- the lower parts, Because they gave their terror in the land of the living, And they bear their shame with those going down to the pit.

²⁵ In the midst of the wounded they have appointed a bed for her with all her multitude, Round about him `are' her graves, All of them uncircumcised, pierced of the sword, For their terror was given in the land of the living, And they bear their shame with those going down to the pit, In the midst of the pierced he hath been put.

¹⁹ Than whom hast thou been more pleasant? Go down, and be laid with the uncircumcised.

³¹ And the strong hath been for tow, And his work for a spark, And burned have both of them together, And there is none quenching!

³² In his wickedness is the wicked driven away, And trustful in his death `is' the righteous.

¹⁵ Desolations `are' upon them, They go down `to' Sheol -- alive, For wickedness `is' in their dwelling, in their midst.

¹⁷ The wicked do turn back to Sheol, All nations forgetting God.

³⁰ and if a strange thing Jehovah do, and the ground hath opened her mouth and swallowed them, and all that they have, and they have gone down alive to Sheol -- then ye have known that these men have despised Jehovah.'

³¹ And it cometh to pass at his finishing speaking all these words, that the ground which `is' under them cleaveth,

³² and the earth openeth her mouth, and swalloweth them, and their houses, and all the men who `are' for Korah, and all the goods,

³³ and they go down, they, and all that they have, alive to Sheol, and the earth closeth over them, and they perish from the midst of the assembly;

³⁴ and all Israel who `are' round about them have fled at their voice, for they said, `Lest the earth swallow us;'
