And when the angel stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, the Lord relented from the calamity and said to the angel who was working destruction among the people,“ It is enough; now stay your hand.” And the angel of the Lord was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

The Lord kills and brings to life; he brings down to Sheol and raises up.

“ Remember that my life is a breath; my eye will never again see good.

If I hope for Sheol as my house, if I make my bed in darkness,if I say to the pit,‘ You are my father,’ and to the worm,‘ My mother,’ or‘ My sister,’where then is my hope? Who will see my hope?Will it go down to the bars of Sheol? Shall we descend together into the dust?”

Dreadful sounds are in his ears; in prosperity the destroyer will come upon him.

“ My spirit is broken; my days are extinct; the graveyard is ready for me.

nor grumble, as some of them did and were destroyed by the Destroyer.

Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him down, because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and breathed his last.

He has redeemed my soul from going down into the pit, and my life shall look upon the light.’

With regard to the works of man, by the word of your lips I have avoided the ways of the violent.

I said, In the middle of my days I must depart; I am consigned to the gates of Sheol for the rest of my years.

O Lord, you have brought up my soul from Sheol; you restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit.

For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draws near to Sheol.I am counted among those who go down to the pit; I am a man who has no strength,like one set loose among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, like those whom you remember no more, for they are cut off from your hand.

For the Lord will pass through to strike the Egyptians, and 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 enter your houses to strike you.
