49:11 Their grave becomes their permanent residence,
their eternal dwelling place. 1
They name their lands after themselves, 2
49:12 but, despite their wealth, people do not last, 3
they are like animals 4 that perish. 5
49:13 This is the destiny of fools, 6
and of those who approve of their philosophy. 7 (Selah)
49:14 They will travel to Sheol like sheep, 8
with death as their shepherd. 9
The godly will rule 10 over them when the day of vindication dawns; 11
Sheol will consume their bodies and they will no longer live in impressive houses. 12
49:15 But 13 God will rescue 14 my life 15 from the power 16 of Sheol;
certainly 17 he will pull me to safety. 18 (Selah)
49:16 Do not be afraid when a man becomes rich 19
and his wealth multiplies! 20
49:17 For he will take nothing with him when he dies;
his wealth will not follow him down into the grave. 21
