49:1 |
Hear this, all you peoples; give ear, all inhabitants of the world,
|
49:2 |
both low and high, rich and poor together.
|
49:3 |
My mouth shall speak wisdom; the meditation of my heart shall be understanding.
|
49:4 |
I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will solve my riddle to the music of the harp.
|
49:5 |
Why should I fear in times of trouble, when the iniquity of my persecutors surrounds me,
|
49:6 |
those who trust in their wealth and boast of the abundance of their riches?
|
49:7 |
Truly, no ransom avails for one's life, there is no price one can give to God for it.
|
49:8 |
For the ransom of life is costly, and can never suffice
|
49:9 |
that one should live on forever and never see the grave.
|
49:10 |
When we look at the wise, they die; fool and dolt perish together and leave their wealth to others.
|
49:11 |
Their graves are their homes forever, their dwelling places to all generations, though they named lands their own.
|
49:12 |
Mortals cannot abide in their pomp; they are like the animals that perish.
|
49:13 |
Such is the fate of the foolhardy, the end of those who are pleased with their lot.Selah
|
49:14 |
Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol; Death shall be their shepherd; straight to the grave they descend, and their form shall waste away; Sheol shall be their home.
|
49:15 |
But God will ransom my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me.Selah
|
49:16 |
Do not be afraid when some become rich, when the wealth of their houses increases.
|
49:17 |
For when they die they will carry nothing away; their wealth will not go down after them.
|
49:18 |
Though in their lifetime they count themselves happy-- for you are praised when you do well for yourself--
|
49:19 |
they will go to the company of their ancestors, who will never again see the light.
|
49:20 |
Mortals cannot abide in their pomp; they are like the animals that perish.
