• c. 586-539 BCE,
  Tanach, Deuteronomy 32:22, with translation of the New International Version:

  כִּי־אֵשׁ קָדְחָה בְאַפִּי וַתִּיקַד עַד־שְׁאֹול תַּחְתִּית וַתֹּאכַל אֶרֶץ וִֽיבֻלָהּ וַתְּלַהֵט מֹוסְדֵי הָרִֽים׃

  For a fire will be kindled by my wrath, one that burns down to the realm of the dead below. It will devour the earth and its harvests and set afire the foundations of the mountains.

• 1990, Sophocles, translated by Aharon Shabtai, אַנְטִיגוֹנֵה [antigoneh, Antigone], lines 519–521:

  קראון: אֲבָל אֶל הַמֵּתִים דּוֹרֵשׁ אֶת פֻּלְחָנָיו. \ אנטיגונה: אֵין לִנְבַל זְכֻיּוֹת שֶׁיֵּשׁ לְאִישׁ אָצִיל. \ קראון: הַאִם אָדָם יוֹדֵעַ מָה חוֹשְׁבִים בְּשָׁאוּל?

  An. Nevertheless, Hades desires these rites. / Cr. But the good desires not a like portion with the evil. / An. Who knows but this seems blameless in the world below?
