NET Bible
"so that he might continue to live forever and not experience death."
— Psalms 49:9, NET Bible
“That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.”
“That he should still live alway, That he should not see corruption. ”
“That he should live on forever, that he should not see corruption.”
“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 trust in their wealth and boast in their great riches.
Certainly a man cannot rescue his brother; he cannot pay God an adequate ransom price
(the ransom price for a human life is too high, and people go to their final destiny),
so that he might continue to live forever and not experience death.
Surely one sees that even wise people die; fools and spiritually insensitive people all pass away and leave their wealth to others.
Their grave becomes their permanent residence, their eternal dwelling place. They name their lands after themselves,
but, despite their wealth, people do not last, they are like animals that perish.
