- the bars of the pit:
- "It shall devourª° the strengthª of his skin:ª [even] the firstbornª of deathª shall devourª° his strength.ª ... His confidenceª shall be rooted outª° of his tabernacle,ª¹ and it shall bringª° him to the kingª of terrors.ª" {Job 18:13-14} + "He keepeth backª° his soulª from¹ the pit,ª and his lifeª from perishingª°¹ by the sword.ª ... He will deliverª° his soulª from goingª°¹ into the pit,ª and his lifeª shall seeª° the light.ª" {Job 33:18-28} + "I am countedª° with¹ them that go downª° into the pit:ª I am¹ as a manª [that hath] no¹ strength:ª ... Thou hast put awayª° mine acquaintanceª° far²° from¹ me; thou hast madeª° me an abominationª unto them: [I am] shut up,ª° and I cannot¹ come forth.ª°" {Psa 88:4-8} + "Hearª° me speedily,²¹ O LORD:ª my spiritª faileth:ª° hideª° not¹ thy faceª from¹ me, lest I be likeª° unto¹ them that go downª° into the pit.ª" {Psa 143:7} + "Behold,¹ for peaceª I had great bitterness:ªª° but thou¹ hast in loveª° to my soulª [delivered it] from the pitª¹ of corruption:ª for¹ thou hast castª° all¹ my sinsª behindª thy back.ª ... For¹ the graveª cannot¹ praiseª° thee, deathª can [not] celebrateª° thee: they that go downª° into the pitª cannot¹ hopeª° for¹ thy truth.ª" {Isa 38:17-18} + "I went downª° to the bottomsª of the mountains;ª the earthª with her barsª [was] about¹ me for ever:ª yet hast thou brought upª° my lifeª from corruption,ª¹ O LORDª my God.ª" {Jna 2:6}
