A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
Let death, &c.--or, "Desolations are on them."

let them go--literally, "they will go."

quick--or, living in the midst of life, death will come (compare Num 16:33).

among them--or, "within them," in their hearts (Psa 5:9; Psa 49:11).

11 Their inward [07130] thought is, that their houses [01004] shall continue for ever [05769], and their dwelling [04908] places to all [01755] generations [01755]; they call [07121] their lands [0127] after their own names [08034].
9 For there is no faithfulness [03559] in their mouth [06310]; their inward [07130] part is very wickedness [01942]; their throat [01627] is an open [06605] sepulchre [06913]; they flatter [02505] with their tongue [03956].
33 They, and all that appertained to them, went down [03381] alive [02416] into the pit [07585], and the earth [0776] closed [03680] upon them: and they perished [06] from among [08432] the congregation [06951].
17 The earth [0776] opened [06605] and swallowed up [01104] Dathan [01885], and covered [03680] the company [05712] of Abiram [048].
31 And it came to pass, as he had made an end [03615] of speaking [01696] all these words [01697], that the ground [0127] clave asunder [01234] that was under them:
32 And the earth [0776] opened [06605] her mouth [06310], and swallowed them up [01104], and their houses [01004], and all the men [0120] that appertained unto Korah [07141], and all their goods [07399].
33 They, and all that appertained to them, went down [03381] alive [02416] into the pit [07585], and the earth [0776] closed [03680] upon them: and they perished [06] from among [08432] the congregation [06951].
21 Before I go [03212] whence I shall not return [07725], even to the land [0776] of darkness [02822] and the shadow of death [06757];
22 A land [0776] of darkness [05890], as darkness [0652] itself; and of the shadow of death [06757], without any order [05468], and where the light [03313] is as darkness [0652].
9 Hell [07585] from beneath is moved [07264] for thee to meet [07125] thee at thy coming [0935]: it stirreth up [05782] the dead [07496] for thee, even all the chief ones [06260] of the earth [0776]; it hath raised up [06965] from their thrones [03678] all the kings [04428] of the nations [01471].
5 Who [3739] shall give [591] account [3056] to him that is [2192] ready [2093] to judge [2919] the quick [2198] and [2532] the dead [3498].
12 For [1063] the word [3056] of God [2316] is quick [2198], and [2532] powerful [1756], and [2532] sharper [5114] than [5228] any [3956] twoedged [1366] sword [3162], piercing [1338] even to [891] the dividing asunder [3311] of soul [5590] and [5037] [2532] spirit [4151], and [5037] [2532] of the joints [719] and [2532] marrow [3452], and [2532] is a discerner [2924] of the thoughts [1761] and [2532] intents [1771] of the heart [2588].
1 I [1473] charge [1263] thee therefore [3767] before [1799] God [2316], and [2532] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], who [3588] shall [3195] judge [2919] the quick [2198] and [2532] the dead [3498] at [2596] his [846] appearing [2015] and [2532] his [846] kingdom [932];
42 And [2532] he commanded [3853] us [2254] to preach [2784] unto the people [2992], and [2532] to testify [1263] that [3754] it is [2076] he [846] which [3588] was ordained [3724] of [5259] God [2316] to be the Judge [2923] of quick [2198] and [2532] dead [3498].
30 But if the LORD [03068] make [01254] a new thing [01278], and the earth [0127] open [06475] her mouth [06310], and swallow them up [01104], with all that appertain unto them, and they go down [03381] quick [02416] into the pit [07585]; then ye shall understand [03045] that these men [0582] have provoked [05006] the LORD [03068].
10 And the priest [03548] shall see [07200] him: and, behold, if the rising [07613] be white [03836] in the skin [05785], and it have turned [02015] the hair [08181] white [03836], and there be quick [04241] raw [02416] flesh [01320] in the rising [07613];
8 For the battle [04421] was there scattered [06327] over the face [06440] of all the country [0776]: and the wood [03293] devoured [0398] more [07235] people [05971] that day [03117] than the sword [02719] devoured [0398].
7 Where the people [05971] of Israel [03478] were slain [05062] before [06440] the servants [05650] of David [01732], and there was there a great [01419] slaughter [04046] that day [03117] of twenty [06242] thousand [0505] men.
8 For the battle [04421] was there scattered [06327] over the face [06440] of all the country [0776]: and the wood [03293] devoured [0398] more [07235] people [05971] that day [03117] than the sword [02719] devoured [0398].
