Is Proverbs 15:24 and Isaiah 14:9.Talking about the same hell?In the king james version of the bible?:confused:
After looking at the translation given in the Easy-to-Read Version I don't see why not.


Proverbs 15:24 Easy-to-Read Version
24 What wise people do leads to life here on earth and stops them from going down to the place of death.

Isaiah 14:9 Easy-to-Read Version
9 The place of death is excited
that you are coming.
Sheol is waking the spirits
of all the leaders of the earth for you.
Sheol is making the kings stand up
from their thrones to meet you.

Proverbs 15:24 English Standard Version (ESV) The path of life leads upward for the prudent, that he may turn away from Sheol beneath.

Isaiah 14:9 English Standard Version (ESV) Sheol beneath is stirred up to meet you when you come; it rouses the shades to greet you, all who were leaders of the earth; it raises from their thrones all who were kings of the nations.

What is termed Hell in the KJV Bible is the Jewish Sheol which meant a place where the dead went which was the underworld. It was similar to the Greek belief in Hades.
