(For the redemption of their soul is costly And must be given up forever),
49:9 That he would yet live always And not see corruption.
叫他仍长远活着,不见朽坏。
49:10 For he will see that wise men die; The foolish one and the senseless one perish alike And leave their wealth to others.
他必见智慧人死亡;又见愚顽人和无知人一同灭亡,将他们的财货留给别人。
49:11 Their inward thought is that their houses will remain forever, That their habitations will remain from generation to generation; They call lands after their own names.
他们心里思想,他们的家必永存,他们的住处必留到万代;他们以自己的名,称自己的地。
49:12 But man in honor does not remain; He is like the beasts that perish.
但人在尊贵中不能长久,乃像要灭亡的畜类一样。
49:13 Such is the way of those who are self-confident, And of those after them who approve of their sayings.
这就是信赖自己者的道路;也是在他们以后,称许他们话语者的道路。 细拉
49:14 Like a flock, they are appointed for Sheol; Death will shepherd them. And straight to the grave they will descend, And their form will be for Sheol to consume That there be no abode for them.
