'Down' in the Bible
Let us swallow them alive like Sheol (the place of the dead),Even whole, as those who go down to the pit [of death];
For her house leads down to deathAnd her paths lead to the dead;
When you lie down, you will not be afraid;When you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
Her feet go down to death;Her steps take hold of Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead),
“Yet a little sleep, a little slumber,A little folding of the hands to lie down and rest”—
For she has cast down many [mortally] wounded;Indeed, all who were killed by her were strong.
Her house is the way to Sheol,Descending to the chambers of death.
The mouth of the righteous flows with [skillful and godly] wisdom,But the perverted tongue will be cut out.
Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down,But a good (encouraging) word makes it glad.
The wise woman builds her house [on a foundation of godly precepts, and her household thrives],But the foolish one [who lacks spiritual insight] tears it down with her own hands [by ignoring godly principles].
A soothing tongue [speaking words that build up and encourage] is a tree of life,But a perversive tongue [speaking words that overwhelm and depress] crushes the spirit.
The Lord will tear down the house of the proud and arrogant (self-righteous),But He will establish and protect the boundaries [of the land] of the [godly] widow.
The words of a whisperer (gossip) are like dainty morsels [to be greedily eaten];They go down into the innermost chambers of the body [to be remembered and mused upon].
The righteous one keeps an eye on the house of the wicked—How the wicked are cast down to ruin.
A wise man scales the city [walls] of the mightyAnd brings down the stronghold in which they trust.
When you sit down to dine with a ruler,Consider carefully what is [set] before you;
Do not look at wine when it is red,When it sparkles in the glass,When it goes down smoothly.
And you will be [as unsteady] as one who lies down in the middle of the sea,And [as vulnerable to disaster] as one who lies down on the top of a ship’s mast, saying,
And, behold, it was all overgrown with thorns,And nettles were covering its surface,And its stone wall was broken down.
By patience and a calm spirit a ruler may be persuaded,And a soft and gentle tongue breaks the bone [of resistance].
Like a muddied fountain and a polluted springIs a righteous man who yields and compromises his integrity before the wicked.
Like a city that is broken down and without walls [leaving it unprotected]Is a man who has no self-control over his spirit [and sets himself up for trouble].
The words of a whisperer (gossip) are like dainty morsels [to be greedily eaten];They go down into the innermost chambers of the body [to be remembered and mused upon].
