Hiram almost lost his never failing smile, so much he marvelled. “But, your Lordship, the man is a giant, mighty as Melkarth. Seizing will be hard. Sheol is the safest prison.” “No.” Democrates was still shaking. “His ghost came to me a thousand times, though yet he lived. It would hound me mad if I murdered him.” “You would not murder him.
Their care for the preservation of their bodies after death, and the provision which in some cases they are seen to have made for them, imply a belief that death was not the end of everything, and a few vague expressions in inscriptions upon tombs point to a similar conviction; but the life of the other world seems to have been regarded as something imperfect and precarious a sort of shadowy existence in a gloomy Sheol, where was neither pleasure nor pain, neither suffering nor enjoyment, but only quietness and rest.
According to this doctrine which was borrowed from the Zarathustrian theology of Persia the Messiah on his arrival was to free from Sheol all the souls of the righteous, causing them to ascend reinvested in their bodies to a renewed and beautiful earth, while on the other hand the wicked were to be punished with tortures like those of the valley of Hinnom, or were to be immersed in liquid brimstone, like that which had rained upon Sodom and Gomorrah.
There are but few who escape them, though some do, and these would rather die than be recaptured." "I see no other way, Ja," I said, "though I can assure you that I would rather go to Sheol after Perry than to Phutra. However, Perry is much too pious to make the probability at all great that I should ever be called upon to rescue him from the former locality."
The power to snatch the individual from the grasp of Sheol was also ascribed to the national god, Yahwe.
Her prayer incidentally brought relief to the Sons of Korah. Since the earth had swallowed them, they had been constantly sinking lower and lower. When Hannah uttered the words, "God bringeth down to Sheol, and bringeth up," they came to a standstill in their downward course. Hannah was spared to witness, not only the greatness of her son, but also the undoing of her rival.
Elizabeth had protested and tried to beg off from the yearly stipend before, but never in that manner. The tone her daughter had used frightened her and she quivered with an unacknowledged fear. Her husband's wrath was the Sheol she fought daily to avoid. What would become of them if the interest were not paid? Added to Mrs.
When the Psalmist said 'Thou wilt not leave my soul in Sheol; neither wilt Thou suffer Thy Holy One to see corruption, he was speaking a conviction that had been floated into his mind on the crest of a great wave of religious enjoyment and communion.
The 'Folly' of the earlier half of this book woos men by her sweet invitations, and promises the sweetness of stolen waters and the pleasantness of bread eaten in secret, but she hides the fact, which the listener to her seducing voice has to find out for himself after he has drunk of the stolen waters and tasted the maddening pleasantness of her bread eaten in secret, that 'her guests are in the depths of Sheol. The temptations that seek to win us to do wrong and dazzle us by fair visions are but 'juggling fiends that keep the word of promise to the ear, and break it to the hope.
I walked with the Kellogg's skipper to his vessel, moored close to the quay in front of the club. He gave an order to the mate, who told him to go to sheol. The mate had been ashore. "Come aboard," cried the mate, "and I will knock your block off." The whole waterfront heard the challenge. Stores were deserted to witness the imminent fight.
