Job 21:32

But man, despite his riches, doesn’t endure. He is like the animals that perish.

to the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves in their stature, and don’t set their top among the thick boughs. Their mighty ones don’t stand up on their height, even all who drink water; for they are all delivered to death, to the lower parts of the earth, among the children of men, with those who go down to the pit.’

You shall tread down the wicked; for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I make,” says Yahweh of Armies.

For I know that you will bring me to death, To the house appointed for all living.

Nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers.”

One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was at the table, leaning against Jesus’ breast.

Don’t you know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

Drought and heat consume the snow waters, so does Sheol those who have sinned.

When you rebuke and correct man for iniquity, you consume his wealth like a moth. Surely every man is but a breath.”

Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,

The man who wanders out of the way of understanding shall rest in the assembly of the departed spirits.

Therefore Sheol has enlarged its desire, and opened its mouth without measure; and their glory, their multitude, their pomp, and he who rejoices among them, descend into it.

He enters into peace. They rest in their beds, each one who walks in his uprightness.

Will you yet say before him who kills you, ‘I am God’? But you are man, and not God, in the hand of him who wounds you.

until the ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High, and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.

For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?

The beggar died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried.

that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom. You will sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”

For the sun arises with the scorching wind and withers the grass, and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So the rich man will also fade away in his pursuits.

He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.

I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write, ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’ ” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them.”

“To these the land shall be divided for an inheritance according to the number of names.

“Then a remnant of the nobles and the people came down. Yahweh came down for me against the mighty.

with kings and counselors of the earth, who built up waste places for themselves;

Isn’t their tent cord plucked up within them? They die, and that without wisdom.’

They spend their days in prosperity. In an instant they go down to Sheol.

They lie down alike in the dust. The worm covers them.

Hide them in the dust together. Bind their faces in the hidden place.

The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, even all the nations that forget God.

As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form.

For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.

Yahweh’s angel encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.

You have made us like sheep for food, and have scattered us among the nations.

He subdues nations under us, and peoples under our feet.

They are appointed as a flock for Sheol. Death shall be their shepherd. The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning. Their beauty shall decay in Sheol, far from their mansion.

For there are no struggles in their death, but their strength is firm.

Precious in Yahweh’s sight is the death of his saints.

The evil bow down before the good, and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.

The wicked is brought down in his calamity, but in death, the righteous has a refuge.

I said in my heart, “As for the sons of men, God tests them, so that they may see that they themselves are like animals.

All go to one place. All are from the dust, and all turn to dust again.

So I saw the wicked buried. Indeed they came also from holiness. They went and were forgotten in the city where they did this. This also is vanity.

and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

All the kings of the nations, sleep in glory, everyone in his own house.

‘What are you doing here? Who has you here, that you have dug out a tomb here?’ Cutting himself out a tomb on high, chiseling a habitation for himself in the rock!”

But you, Yahweh, know me. You see me, and test my heart toward you. Pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.

They will not lie with the mighty who are fallen of the uncircumcised, who have gone down to Sheol with their weapons of war, and have laid their swords under their heads, and their iniquities are on their bones; for they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living.

But the saints of the Most High will receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever.’

Let’s acknowledge Yahweh. Let’s press on to know Yahweh. As surely as the sun rises, Yahweh will appear. He will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain that waters the earth.”

I tell you that many will come from the east and the west, and will sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven,

See that you don’t despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

He will send out his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.

They came to Jericho. As he went out from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the road.

Then he will send out his angels, and will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the sky.

“But God said to him, ‘You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?’

“The manager said within himself, ‘What will I do, seeing that my lord is taking away the management position from me? I don’t have strength to dig. I am ashamed to beg.

Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that no one may cross over from there to us.’

Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.”

Then Peter, turning around, saw a disciple following. This was the disciple whom Jesus loved, the one who had also leaned on Jesus’ breast at the supper and asked, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”

For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, was laid with his fathers, and saw decay.

Even as it is written, “For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”

Aren’t they all serving spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?

Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in the same way partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,

that you won’t be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and perseverance inherited the promises.

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. You were healed by his wounds.

He will rule them with a rod of iron, shattering them like clay pots; as I also have received of my Father:

Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn’t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him?

having a great and high wall; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.
