(NRSV) Job 7:9 As the cloud fades and vanishes,
so those who go down to Sheol do not come up. [2]
(NRSV) Psalm 6:4-5 Turn, O Lord, save my life;
deliver me for the sake of your steadfast love. For in death, there
is no remembrance of you; in Sheol who can give you praise? [3]
(NRSV) Psalm 88:3-5 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 like those who have no help, like
those forsaken 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. [4]
(NRSV) Psalm 115:17 The dead do not praise the
Lord, nor do any that go down into silence. [5]
(NRSV) Ecclesiastes 9:5-10 …the dead know
nothing; they have no more reward, and even the memory of them is
lost. …for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in
Sheol, to which you are going. [6]
(NRSV) Isaiah 38:16-18 O Lord, by these things
people live, and in all these is the life of my spirit. Oh, restore
me to health and make me live! Surely it was for my welfare that I
had great bitterness; but you have held back my life from the pit
of destruction, for you have cast all my sins behind your back. For
Sheol cannot thank you, death cannot praise you; those who go down
to the Pit cannot hope for your faithfulness. [7]
The OT AFFIRMS THIS.
