BrLXX Ἐγὼ εἶπα ἐν τῷ ὕψει τῶν ἡμερῶν μου, πορεύσομαι ἐν πύλαις ἅδου, καταλείψω τὰ ἔτη τὰ ἐπίλοιπα.

38:10 enter the place of the dead? (literally enter the gates of Sheol?): This image comes from an ancient idea that people enter death through gates (see 14:9). Old Testament believers did not understand the afterlife as the New Testament reveals it. It was a shadowy place where all the dead were together and where no praise of God existed (see 38:18; Pss 88:10; 115:17).
(Occurrence 0) that halfway through my life
(Some words not found in UHB: I said in/on/at/with,prime life,my go in/on/at/with,gates sheol consigned rest years,my )
“that before I have grown old.” This refers to dying at middle age, before growing old.

(Occurrence 0) I will go through the gates of Sheol
(Some words not found in UHB: I said in/on/at/with,prime life,my go in/on/at/with,gates sheol consigned rest years,my )
This speaks of dying as if Sheol were a kingdom that has gates that one enters. Alternate translation: “I will die and go to Sheol”

(Occurrence 0) I am sent there for the rest of my years
(Some words not found in UHB: I said in/on/at/with,prime life,my go in/on/at/with,gates sheol consigned rest years,my )
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “before I have lived all of my years I will go to the grave”
