EXPLANATION

Verse 6. Hell. The grave.—Destruction. Hebrew abaddon. Bible.—Saint John (Revelation 9:11) styles the bottomless abyss; ( Calmet.) or its angel, ( Bible.) Abaddon, or Apollyon. It may here be called destruction, ( Calmet.) as all its victims are lost for ever to every thing that is good. The obscurity of the grave, and even that of hell, can hide nothing from God.

Sheol is the place of the dead.

Abaddon means Destroyer.
