World English Bible
"That he should live on forever, that he should not see corruption."
— Psalms 49:9, World English Bible
“That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.”
“That he should still live alway, 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.”
Those who trust in their wealth, and boast in the multitude of their riches--
none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give God a ransom for him.
For the redemption of their life is costly, no payment is ever enough,
That he should live on forever, that he should not see corruption.
For he sees that wise men die; likewise the fool and the senseless perish, and leave their wealth to others.
Their inward thought is that their houses will endure forever, and their dwelling places to all generations. They name their lands after themselves.
But man, despite his riches, doesn't endure. He is like the animals that perish.
