Deut 32:22 For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, (שאול/sheh-ole) and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
Ps 9:16 The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
17 The wicked shall be turned into hell (שאול/sheh-ole), and all the nations that forget God.
If שאול/sheh-ole is merely the grave, why are only the wicked and those who forget God sent there?
We will now pursue the 31 Scriptures the KJV translators have seen fit to translate sheol into hell.
