# Chapter 49
|
||||
1 Listen to this, all you people!
|
||||
Pay attention, everyone in the world!
|
||||
2 High and low,
|
||||
rich and poor—listen!
|
||||
3 For my words are wise,
|
||||
and my thoughts are filled with insight.
|
||||
4 I listen carefully to many proverbs
|
||||
and solve riddles with inspiration from a harp.
|
||||
5 Why should I fear when trouble comes,
|
||||
when enemies surround me?
|
||||
6 They trust in their wealth
|
||||
and boast of great riches.
|
||||
7 Yet they cannot redeem themselves from death
|
||||
by paying a ransom to God.
|
||||
8 Redemption does not come so easily,
|
||||
for no one can ever pay enough
|
||||
9 to live forever
|
||||
and never see the grave.
|
||||
10 Those who are wise must finally die,
|
||||
just like the foolish and senseless,
|
||||
leaving all their wealth behind.
|
||||
11 The grave is their eternal home,
|
||||
where they will stay forever.
|
||||
They may name their estates after themselves,
|
||||
12 but their fame will not last.
|
||||
They will die, just like animals.
|
||||
13 This is the fate of fools,
|
||||
though they are remembered as being wise. Interlude
|
||||
14 Like sheep, they are led to the grave,
|
||||
where death will be their shepherd.
|
||||
In the morning the godly will rule over them.
|
||||
Their bodies will rot in the grave,
|
||||
far from their grand estates.
|
||||
15 But as for me, God will redeem my life.
|
||||
He will snatch me from the power of the grave. Interlude
|
||||
16 So don’t be dismayed when the wicked grow rich
|
||||
and their homes become ever more splendid.
|
||||
17 For when they die, they take nothing with them.
|
||||
Their wealth will not follow them into the grave.
|
||||
18 In this life they consider themselves fortunate
|
||||
and are applauded for their success.
|
||||
19 But they will die like all before them
|
||||
and never again see the light of day.
|
||||
20 People who boast of their wealth don’t understand;
|
||||
they will die, just like animals.
