- 2 Samuel 22:6
The cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me.
- Job 26:5
The dead tremble— those beneath the waters and those who dwell in them.
Commentary on Job 26:52 voices
Lo, the giants groan under the waters. For it was fitting that by rebuking he should first beat down the swelling of earthly wisdom, and by instruction afterwards pass on to words replete with mysteries. Thus by 'giants,' either apostate Angels, or all proud men may without objection be understood. For hence it is said by the Prophet, The dead shall not live, the giants shall not rise up again. For whom does he call 'the dead' saving sinners, and whom does he designate 'giants' save those, who over and above take pride in sin.
Gregory the Dialogist· Morals on the Book of Job, Book XVII, 604Patristic
Dead things are formed from under the waters,....

- Psalms 6:5
For there is no mention of You in death; who can praise You from Sheol?
Commentary on Psalms 6:51 voice
While you are still in this world, I beg of you to repent. Confess and give thanks to the Lord, for in this world only is he merciful. Here, he is able to be compassionate to the repentant, but because there he is judge, he is not merciful. Here, he is compassionate kindness; there, he is judge. Here, he reaches out his hand to the falling; there, he presides as judge.
Jerome· HOMILY ON PSALM 105[106], 420Patristic
- Psalms 17:15
As for me, I will behold Your face in righteousness; when I awake, I will be satisfied in Your presence.
Commentary on Psalms 17:151 voice
If long and healthful life: there is sound eternity and eternal soundness, because the just shall live forever, and: The salvation of the just is from the Lord. If fullness: they shall be satisfied, when the glory of God shall appear. If inebriation: they shall …
Bonaventure· Breviloquium, Part 7, 1257Patristic
- Psalms 30:9
“What gain is there in my bloodshed, in my descent to the Pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it proclaim Your faithfulness?
Commentary on Psalms 30:92 voices
The Lord's descent to earth was not useless, for it gained the whole world! Nevertheless, even after his coming in the flesh, sinners would rather be without his flesh than profit by it. You see, he took pleasure in our salvation and thought of it as a distinctive victory for himself. [By contrast], he considered our destruction a sad loss.… He praised those who doubled the grace he gave, both the one who made ten talents from five and the one who made four talents from two. Both of them had done the right thing and had profited from it.
Athanasius of Alexandria· FESTAL LETTERS 6:4-5, 373Patristic
What profit is there in my blood?.... Should that be shed, and he die by the hands of his enemies, through divine permission: death is not profitable to a man's self by way of merit; it does not atone for sin, satisfy justice, and merit heaven; even the death of martyrs, and of such who shed their blood, died in the cause of Christ, and for his sake, is not meritorious; it does not profit in such sense: there is profit in no blood but in the blood of Christ, by which peace is made, pardon procured, and redemption obtained.

- Psalms 49:15
But God will redeem my life from Sheol, for He will surely take me to Himself. Selah
Commentary on Psalms 49:151 voice
"Nevertheless, he shall redeem my soul"; as if to say: the wicked have those things; but I shall be freed from them. And by what? Through the shedding of the blood of Christ. "He shall redeem from the hand of Hell," that is, from the …

- Psalms 86:13
For great is Your loving devotion to me; You have delivered me from the depths of Sheol.
Commentary on Psalms 86:131 voice
For they do not choose to understand, that if these things are as they say, the Lord Himself, in whom they profess to believe, did not rise again upon the third day; but immediately upon His expiring on the cross, undoubtedly departed on high, leaving His body to the earth. But the case was, that for three days He dwelt in the place where the dead were, as the prophet says concerning Him: "And the Lord remembered His dead saints who slept formerly in the land of sepulture; and He descended to them, to rescue and save them."
Irenaeus· Against Heresies (Book V, Chapter 31), Section 1-2, 202Patristic
- Psalms 88:10–12
Do You work wonders for the dead? Do departed spirits rise up to praise You? Selah
Commentary on Psalms 88:10–121 voice
"Wilt thou show wonders to the dead?" Not to those who, living, are dead, but to me who live in thee. "Or shall physicians raise them up?" and the rest. Not the spices of physicians, but thou, Father, raisest me up; nor they, but I will confess among the peoples.
Jerome· Homily 65, on Psalm 87 (Alternate Series), 420Patristic
- Psalms 115:17
It is not the dead who praise the LORD, nor any who descend into silence.
Commentary on Psalms 115:171 voice
The festival of Easter does not consist in pleasant conversation at meals, or splendor of clothing or days of leisure but in the acknowledgment of God and the offering of thanksgiving and of praise to him.
Athanasius of Alexandria· FESTAL LETTERS 7:3, 373Patristic
- Psalms 116:3
The ropes of death entangled me; the anguish of Sheol overcame me; I was confronted by trouble and sorrow.
Commentary on Psalms 116:31 voice
Do you hear him [the psalmist] saying, "The sorrows of death have compassed me"? "Still, I have loved the Lord even in the sorrows of death. The perils of hell have found me, not fearing indeed, but loving, but hoping, because no distress, no persecution, no dangers, no sword shall separate me from Christ." Therefore, he accepted tribulation and sorrow willingly, knowing that "suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope."
Ambrose of Milan· ON THE DEATH OF THEODOSIUS 23, 397Patristic
- Proverbs 15:24
The path of life leads upward for the wise, that he may avoid going down to Sheol.
Commentary on Proverbs 15:241 voice
The path of life is above the wise, etc. He calls the wise one perfected not only in knowledge, but also in practice. For to him indeed the paths of life from above are rightly opened; to him the gate of heaven is open. But …

- Proverbs 21:16
The man who strays from the path of understanding will rest in the assembly of the dead.
Commentary on Proverbs 21:161 voice
The man who strays from the way of doctrine, etc. He says that the giants are unclean spirits, about which the blessed Job says, "Behold, the giants groan beneath the waters, and those who dwell with them" (Job 26:5), that is, proud and malevolent strong …
Bede· Commentary on Proverbs, 735Patristic
- Proverbs 27:20
Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
Commentary on Proverbs 27:201 voice
Hell and destruction will not be full, etc. The torments of hell will not be filled, by receiving an end; similarly, the intentions of those who are wise in human matters are insatiable in the desire to sin. And hence they pay the penalties without …
Bede· Commentary on Proverbs, 735Patristic
- Ecclesiastes 9:4–6
There is hope, however, for anyone who is among the living; for even a live dog is better than a dead lion.
Commentary on Ecclesiastes 9:4–62 voices
Do not, I pray thee, in such a question trust to humility only or to gravity, which are often deceived. Better by far is a living dog in this problem than a dead lion. For a living saint may correct what had not been corrected by another who came before him.
Gregory the Dialogist· Register of Epistles, Book 9, 604Patristic
"This is an evil about all things that are done under the sun: that the same fate awaits all Therefore the heart of man is full of evil; and madness is in their heart while they live; and after that, they go to the dead. "Symmachus interprets this in his usual clearer way, saying, "but even the heart of mankind is filled with wickedness and impudence like their heart in life". But all of them succumb to death, for who is able to continually live forever? The Scripture has the same meaning regarding this.
Jerome· Commentary on Ecclesiastes, 420Patristic
- Isaiah 5:14
Therefore Sheol enlarges its throat and opens wide its enormous jaws, and down go Zion’s nobles and masses, her revelers and carousers!
Commentary on Isaiah 5:141 voice
(Verse 14, 15.) Therefore, hell enlarged its soul and opened its mouth without any limit, and its strong ones, and its people, and its high and glorious ones descended to it. And man will be humbled, and the man will be brought low, and the eyes of the proud will be cast down. Those who rose early to pursue wine, and remained in drunkenness until evening, and were occupied with pleasure and indulgence, did not want to consider the work of the Lord, nor did they contemplate the works of His hands.
Jerome· Commentary on Isaiah, 420Patristic
- Jonah 2:2
saying: “In my distress I called to the LORD, and He answered me. From the belly of Sheol I called for help, and You heard my voice.
Commentary on Jonah 2:21 voice
"And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and you heard my voice." LXX: similar except: 'from the belly of hell I threw out my cries'. He does not say, "I cry", but "I cried". He does not pray for the future, but gives thanks for the past.
