American Standard Version
"That he should still live alway, That he should not see corruption. "
— Psalms 49:9, American Standard Version
“That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.”
“That he should live on forever, that he should not see corruption.”
“so that he might continue to live forever and not experience death.”
“I will not take calves out of thy house: nor he goats out of thy flocks.”
“So that he might have eternal life, and never see the underworld.”
“That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.”
They that trust in their wealth, And boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
None of them can by any means redeem his brother, Nor give to God a ransom for him
(For the redemption of their life is costly, And it faileth for ever),
That he should still live alway, That he should not see corruption.
For he shall see it. Wise men die; The fool and the brutish alike perish, And leave their wealth to others.
Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, Andtheir dwelling-places to all generations; They call their lands after their own names.
But man being in honor abideth not: He is like the beasts that perish.
