49:1 |
Hear this, all ye peoples; Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world,
|
49:2 |
Both low and high, Rich and poor together.
|
49:3 |
My mouth shall speak wisdom; And the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
|
49:4 |
I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
|
49:5 |
Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, When iniquity at my heels compasseth me about?
|
49:6 |
They that trust in their wealth, And boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
|
49:7 |
None [of them] can by any means redeem his brother, Nor give to God a ransom for him;
|
49:8 |
(For the redemption of their life is costly, And it faileth for ever;)
|
49:9 |
That he should still live alway, That he should not see corruption.
|
49:10 |
For he shall see it. Wise men die; The fool and the brutish alike perish, And leave their wealth to others.
|
49:11 |
Their inward thought is, [that] their houses [shall continue] for ever, [And] their dwelling-places to all generations; They call their lands after their own names.
|
49:12 |
But man [being] in honor abideth not: He is like the beasts that perish.
|
49:13 |
This their way is their folly: Yet after them men approve their sayings. [Selah]
|
49:14 |
They are appointed as a flock for Sheol; Death shall be their shepherd; And the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; And their beauty shall be for Sheol to consume, That there be no habitation for it.
|
49:15 |
But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol; For he will receive me. [Selah]
|
49:16 |
Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, When the glory of his house is increased.
|
49:17 |
For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away; His glory shall not descend after him.
|
49:18 |
Though while he lived he blessed his soul (And men praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself,)
|
49:19 |
He shall go to the generation of his fathers; They shall never see the light.
|
49:20 |
Man that is in honor, and understandeth not, Is like the beasts that perish.
