Their being loathed all food, And they drew near to the gates of death,
Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; And they draw near unto the gates of death.
They loathe every kind of food, and they draw near to the gates of death.
Their soul abhorreth all manner of food; And they draw near unto the gates of death.
They had absolutely no appetite for food; they had arrived at death’s gates.
Were the gates of death revealed to you? Or have you seen the gates of the shadow of death?
For my being is filled with evils, And my life draws near to She’ol.
Ḥet Show favour to me, O יהוה! See my affliction by those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death,
I said, “Am I to go into the gates of She’ol in the prime of my life? Shall I be deprived of the rest of my years?”
