- Pharaoh is here represented as descending into the regions of the dead, whither many mighty warriors and potentates had gone before him, who welcome him to their dreary mansion. "And they shall not¹ lieª° with¹ the mightyª [that are] fallenª° of the uncircumcised,ª¹ which¹ are gone downª° to hellª with their weaponsª of war:ª and they have laidª°¹ their swordsª under¹ their heads,ª but their iniquitiesª shall be¹ upon¹ their bones,ª though¹ [they were] the terrorª of the mightyª in the landª of the living.ª" {Ezk 32:27} + "And the strongª shall be¹ as tow,ª and the makerª of it as a spark,ª and they shall bothª burnª° together,ª and none¹ shall quenchª° [them]." {Isa 1:31} + "Hellª from beneath¹¹ is movedª° for thee to meet²°¹ [thee] at thy coming:ª° it stirreth upª° the deadª for thee, [even] all¹ the chief onesª of the earth;ª it hath raised upª° from their thronesª¹ all¹ the kingsª of the nations.ª ... All¹ they shall speakª° and sayª° unto thee, Art thou¹ also¹ become weakª° as we? art thou become likeª° unto¹ us?" {Isa 14:9-10} + "Andª inª hellª he lift upª° his²¹ eyes,ª beingª° inª torments,ª and seeth²°¹ Abrahamª afar² off,ª¹ andª Lazarusª inª hisª bosom.ª ... Andª² he¹ criedª° and said,ª° Fatherª Abraham,ª have mercyª° on me,ª andª sendª° Lazarus,ª thatª he may dipª° the¹ tipª of his²¹ fingerª in water,ª andª coolª° myª tongue;ª forª I am tormentedª° inª thisª flame.ª" {Lke 16:23-24}
