| 49:1 | Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world: |
| 49:2 | Both low and high, rich and poor, together. |
| 49:3 | My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding. |
| 49:4 | I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp. |
| 49:5 | Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about? |
| 49:6 | They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches; |
| 49:7 | None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him: |
| 49:8 | (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:) |
| 49:8 | 叫他長遠活著、不見朽壞．因為贖他生命的價值極貴、只可永遠罷休． |
| 49:8 | 叫他长远活着，不见朽坏。 |
| psm:89:48 | What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah. |
| psm:16:10 | For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. |
| job:36:18 | Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee. |
| 1pe:1:18 | Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; |
| COBL | |
| 49:9 | That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption. |
| 49:10 | For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others. |
| 49:11 | Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names. |
| 49:12 | Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish. |
| 49:13 | This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah. |
| 49:14 | Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling. |
| 49:15 | But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah. |
| 49:16 | Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased; |
| 49:17 | For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him. |
| 49:18 | Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself. |
| 49:19 | He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light. |
| 49:20 | Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish. |
