15. to hell--to Sheol
(Isa 14:6),
thou who hast said, "I will ascend into heaven"
(Mt 11:23).
sides of the pit--antithetical to the "sides of the north"
(Isa 14:13).
Thus the reference is to the sides of the sepulcher round which
the dead were arranged in niches. But MAURER here,
as in
Isa 14:13,
translates, "the extreme," or innermost parts of the
sepulchre: as in
Eze 32:23
(compare
1Sa 24:3).
