# Chapter 49
|
|
1. Hear this, all peoples;
|
|
Give ear, all inhabitants of the world,
|
|
|
|
2. Both low and high,
|
|
Rich and poor together.
|
|
|
|
3. My mouth shall speak wisdom,
|
|
And the meditation of my heart shall give understanding.
|
|
|
|
4. I will incline my ear to a proverb;
|
|
I will disclose my dark saying on the harp.
|
|
|
|
5. Why should I fear in the days of evil,
|
|
When the iniquity at my heels surrounds me?
|
|
|
|
6. Those who trust in their wealth
|
|
And boast in the multitude of their riches,
|
|
|
|
7. None of them can by any means redeem his brother,
|
|
Nor give to God a ransom for him--
|
|
|
|
8. For the redemption of their souls is costly,
|
|
And it shall cease forever--
|
|
|
|
9. That he should continue to live eternally,
|
|
And not see the Pit.
|
|
|
|
10. For he sees wise men die;
|
|
Likewise the fool and the senseless person perish,
|
|
And leave their wealth to others.
|
|
|
|
11. Their inner thought is that their houses will last forever,
|
|
Their dwelling places to all generations;
|
|
They call their lands after their own names.
|
|
|
|
12. Nevertheless man, though in honor, does not remain;
|
|
He is like the beasts that perish.
|
|
|
|
13. This is the way of those who are foolish,
|
|
And of their posterity who approve their sayings. Selah
|
|
|
|
14. Like sheep they are laid in the grave;
|
|
Death shall feed on them;
|
|
The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning;
|
|
And their beauty shall be consumed in the grave, far from their dwelling.
|
|
|
|
15. But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave,
|
|
For He shall receive me. Selah
|
|
|
|
16. Do not be afraid when one becomes rich,
|
|
When the glory of his house is increased;
|
|
|
|
17. For when he dies he shall carry nothing away;
|
|
His glory shall not descend after him.
|
|
|
|
18. Though while he lives he blesses himself
|
|
(For men will praise you when you do well for yourself),
|
|
|
|
19. He shall go to the generation of his fathers;
|
|
They shall never see light.
|
|
|
|
20. A man who is in honor, yet does not understand,
|
|
Is like the beasts that perish.
