Job 3:17-19
There the wicked cease from troubling; And there the weary are at rest.There the prisoners are at ease together; They hear not the voice of the taskmaster.The small and the great are there: And the servant is free from his master.

Psalms 88:4-8
I am reckoned with them that go down into the pit; I am as a man that hath no help,Cast off among the dead, Like the slain that lie in the grave, Whom thou rememberest no more, And they are cut off from thy hand.Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in the deeps.Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, And thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves.[ SelahThou hast put mine acquaintance far from me; Thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.

Isaiah 38:17-18
Behold, it was for my peace that I had great bitterness: But thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption; For thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.For Sheol cannot praise thee, death cannot celebrate thee: They that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.

Ezekiel 37:11
Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are clean cut off.

Job 33:18-28
He keepeth back his soul from the pit, And his life from perishing by the sword.He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, And with continual strife in his bones;So that his life abhorreth bread, And his soul dainty food.His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; And his bones that were not seen stick out.Yea, his soul draweth near unto the pit, And his life to the destroyers.If there be with him an angel, An interpreter, one among a thousand, To show unto man what is right for him;Then God is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.His flesh shall be fresher than a child’s; He returneth to the days of his youth.He prayeth unto God, and he is favorable unto him, So that he seeth his face with joy: And he restoreth unto man his righteousness.He singeth before men, and saith, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, And it profited me not:He hath redeemed my soul from going into the pit, And my life shall behold the light.
