Lexicon :: Strong's G899 - bathos

He dams up the streams from flowing[fn]

so that he may bring to light what is hidden.

I have sunk in deep mud, and there is no footing;

I have come into deep water,

and a flood sweeps over me.

Rescue me from the miry mud; don’t let me sink.

Let me be rescued from those who hate me

and from the deep water.

When a wicked person comes, contempt also comes,

and along with dishonor, derision.

What exists is beyond reach and very deep. Who can discover it?

“Ask for a sign from the LORD your God ​— ​it can be as deep as Sheol or as high as heaven.”

Wasn’t it you who dried up the sea,

the waters of the great deep,

who made the sea-bed into a road

for the redeemed to pass over?

“then I will bring you down to be with those who descend to the Pit, to the people of antiquity. I will make you dwell in the underworld[fn] like[fn] the ancient ruins, with those who descend to the Pit, so that you will no longer be inhabited or display your splendor[fn] in the land of the living.

“This happened so that no trees planted beside water would become great in height and set their tops among the clouds, and so that no other well-watered trees would reach them in height. For they have all been consigned to death, to the underworld, among the people[fn] who descend to the Pit.

“ ‘Who then are you like in glory and greatness among Eden’s trees? You also will be brought down to the underworld to be with the trees of Eden. You will lie among the uncircumcised with those slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his hordes. This is the declaration of the Lord GOD.’ ”

“Son of man, wail over the hordes of Egypt and bring Egypt and the daughters of mighty nations down to the underworld,[fn] to be with those who descend to the Pit:

“Elam is there

with all her hordes around her grave.

All of them are slain, fallen by the sword —

those who went down to the underworld uncircumcised,

who once spread their terror

in the land of the living.

They bear their disgrace

with those who descend to the Pit.

“These are the measurements of the altar in units of length (each unit being the standard length plus three inches):[fn] The gutter is 21 inches[fn] deep and 21 inches wide, with a rim of nine inches[fn] around its edge. This is the base[fn] of the altar.

If they hide

on the top of Carmel,

from there I will track them down

and seize them;

if they conceal themselves

from my sight on the sea floor,

from there I will command

the sea serpent to bite them.

When you threw me into the depths,

into the heart of the seas,

the current[fn] overcame me.

All your breakers and your billows swept over me.

He will again have compassion on us;

he will vanquish our iniquities.

You will cast all our[fn] sins

into the depths of the sea.

The LORD[fn] will pass through the sea of distress

and strike the waves of the sea;

all the depths of the Nile will dry up.

The pride of Assyria will be brought down,

and the scepter of Egypt will come to an end.
