“The dead are in deep anguish, those beneath the waters and all that live in them. The realm of the dead is naked before God; Destruction lies uncovered.

The dead tremble under the waters and their inhabitants. Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering.

“The dead tremble— those who live beneath the waters. The underworld is naked in God’s presence. The place of destruction is uncovered.

The departed spirits tremble beneath the waters and all that inhabit them.  Sheol  is naked before God, and Abaddon  has no covering.

Dead things are formed From under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof. Hell is naked before him, And destruction hath no covering.

“The dead tremble, Those under the waters and those inhabiting them. Sheol is naked before Him, And Destruction has no covering.

“All the buried dead are in torment, and all who’ve been drowned in the deep, deep sea. Hell is ripped open before God, graveyards dug up and exposed. He spreads the skies over unformed space, hangs the earth out in empty space. He pours water into cumulus cloud-bags and the bags don’t burst. He makes the moon wax and wane, putting it through its phases. He draws the horizon out over the ocean, sets a boundary between light and darkness. Thunder crashes and rumbles in the skies. Listen! It’s God raising his voice! By his power he stills sea storms, by his wisdom he tames sea monsters. With one breath he clears the sky, with one finger he crushes the sea serpent. And this is only the beginning, a mere whisper of his rule. Whatever would we do if he really raised his voice!”

¶“The departed spirits are made to tremble Under the waters and their inhabitants. “Sheol is naked before Him, And Abaddon has no covering.

¶“The spirits of the dead tremble Underneath the waters and their inhabitants. “Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead) is naked before God, And Abaddon (the place of destruction) has no covering [from His eyes].

“The dead tremble – those beneath the waters and all that live in them. The underworld is naked before God; the place of destruction lies uncovered.
