- Romans 11:8-10 -(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear) unto this day.

- Psalm 88:4-10 - I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength: Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou remember no more: and they are cut off from thy hand. Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps. Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Thou hast put away mine acquaintances far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I can not come forth. Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: Lord, I have called daily upon thee. Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee?
