To the chief MusicianH5329, A PsalmH4210 for the sonsH1121 of KorahH7141. HearH8085 this, all ye peopleH5971; give earH238, all ye inhabitantsH3427 of the worldH2465: {for: or, of}
Both lowH1121+H120 and highH1121+H376, richH6223 and poorH34, togetherH3162.
My mouthH6310 shall speakH1696 of wisdomH2454; and the meditationH1900 of my heartH3820 shall be of understandingH8394.
I will inclineH5186 mine earH241 to a parableH4912: I will openH6605 my dark sayingH2420 upon the harpH3658.
Wherefore should I fearH3372 in the daysH3117 of evilH7451, when the iniquityH5771 of my heelsH6120 shall compassH5437 me about?
They that trustH982 in their wealthH2428, and boastH1984 themselves in the multitudeH7230 of their richesH6239;
None of them canH376 by any meansH6299 redeemH6299 his brotherH251, nor giveH5414 to GodH430 a ransomH3724 for him:
(For the redemptionH6306 of their soulH5315 is preciousH3365, and it ceasethH2308 for everH5769:)
That he should still liveH2421 for everH5331, and not seeH7200 corruptionH7845.
For he seethH7200 that wise menH2450 dieH4191, likewiseH3162 the foolH3684 and the brutish personH1198 perishH6, and leaveH5800 their wealthH2428 to othersH312.
Their inwardH7130 thought is, that their housesH1004 shall continue for everH5769, and their dwellingH4908 places to allH1755 generationsH1755; they callH7121 their landsH127 after their own namesH8034. {all…: Heb. generation and generation}
Nevertheless manH120 being in honourH3366 abidethH3885 not: he is likeH4911 the beastsH929 that perishH1820.
This their wayH1870 is their follyH3689: yet their posterityH310 approveH7521 their sayingsH6310. SelahH5542. {approve…: Heb. delight in their mouth}
Like sheepH6629 they are laidH8371 in the graveH7585; deathH4194 shall feedH7462 on them; and the uprightH3477 shall have dominionH7287 over them in the morningH1242; and their beautyH6697+H6736 shall consumeH1086 in the graveH7585 from their dwellingH2073. {beauty: or, strength} {in the grave from…: or, the grave being an habitation to every one of them}
But GodH430 will redeemH6299 my soulH5315 from the powerH3027 of the graveH7585: for he shall receiveH3947 me. SelahH5542. {power: Heb. hand} {the grave: or, hell}
Be not thou afraidH3372 when oneH376 is made richH6238, when the gloryH3519 of his houseH1004 is increasedH7235;
For when he diethH4194 he shall carry nothing awayH3947: his gloryH3519 shall not descendH3381 afterH310 him.
Though while he livedH2416 he blessedH1288 his soulH5315: and men will praiseH3034 thee, when thou doest wellH3190 to thyself. {while…: Heb. in his life}
He shall goH935 to the generationH1755 of his fathersH1; they shall neverH3808+H5331 seeH7200 lightH216. {He…: Heb. The soul shall}
ManH120 that is in honourH3366, and understandethH995 not, is likeH4911 the beastsH929 that perishH1820.
Querverweise zu Psalm 49,10 Ps 49,10
For there is no remembranceH2146 of the wiseH2450 more thanH5973 of the foolH3684 for everH5769; seeing that which nowH3528 is in the daysH3117 to comeH935 shall all be forgottenH7911. And how diethH4191 the wiseH2450 man? as the foolH3684.
Therefore I hatedH8130 lifeH2416; because the workH4639 that is wroughtH6213 under the sunH8121 is grievousH7451 unto me: for all is vanityH1892 and vexationH7469 of spiritH7307.
Yea, I hatedH8130 all my labourH5999 which I had takenH6001 under the sunH8121: because I should leaveH3240 it unto the manH120 that shall be afterH310 me. {taken: Heb. laboured}
And who knowethH3045 whether he shall be a wiseH2450 man or a foolH5530? yet shall he have ruleH7980 over all my labourH5999 wherein I have labouredH5998, and wherein I have shewed myself wiseH2449 under the sunH8121. This is also vanityH1892.
Therefore I went aboutH5437 to causeH2976 my heartH3820 to despairH2976 of all the labourH5999 which I tookH5998 under the sunH8121.
For there isH3426 a manH120 whose labourH5999 is in wisdomH2451, and in knowledgeH1847, and in equityH3788; yet to a manH120 that hath not labouredH5998 therein shall he leaveH5414 it for his portionH2506. This also is vanityH1892 and a greatH7227 evilH7451. {leave: Heb. give}
So foolishH1198 was I, and ignorantH3045: I was as a beastH929 before thee. {ignorant: Heb. I knew not} {before Heb. with}
For when he diethH4194 he shall carry nothing awayH3947: his gloryH3519 shall not descendH3381 afterH310 him.
For all this I consideredH5414 in my heartH3820 even to declareH952 all this, that the righteousH6662, and the wiseH2450, and their worksH5652, are in the handH3027 of GodH430: no manH120 knowethH3045 eitherH1571 loveH160 or hatredH8135 by all that is beforeH6440 them. {I considered…: Heb. I gave, or, set to my heart}
From menH4962 which are thy handH3027, O LORDH3068, from menH4962 of the worldH2465, which have their portionH2506 in this lifeH2416, and whose bellyH990 thou fillestH4390 with thy hidH6840 treasure: they are fullH7646 of childrenH1121, and leaveH3240 the restH3499 of their substance to their babesH5768. {which are: or, by} {they…: or, their children are full}
All things come alike to all: there is oneH259 eventH4745 to the righteousH6662, and to the wickedH7563; to the goodH2896 and to the cleanH2889, and to the uncleanH2931; to him that sacrificethH2076, and to him thatH834 sacrificethH2076 not: as is the goodH2896, so is the sinnerH2398; and he that swearethH7650, as he that fearethH3373 an oathH7621.
When the wickedH7563 springH6524 as the grassH6212, and when all the workersH6466 of iniquityH205 do flourishH6692; it is that they shall be destroyedH8045 for everH5703:
Surely every manH376 walkethH1980 in a vain shewH6754: surely they are disquietedH1993 in vainH1892: he heapeth upH6651 riches, and knowethH3045 not who shall gatherH622 them. {a vain…: Heb. an image}
WhereforeG1223+G5124, asG5618 byG1223 oneG1520 manG444 sinG266 enteredG1525 intoG1519 the worldG2889, andG2532 deathG2288 byG1223 sinG266; andG2532 soG3779 deathG2288 passedG1330 uponG1519 allG3956 menG444, forG1909 thatG3739 allG3956 have sinnedG264: {for that: or, in whom}
(ForG1063 untilG891 the lawG3551 sinG266 wasG2258 inG1722 the worldG2889: butG1161 sinG266 isG1677 notG3756 imputedG1677 when there isG5607 noG3361 lawG3551.
NeverthelessG235 deathG2288 reignedG936 fromG575 AdamG76 toG3360 MosesG3475, evenG2532 overG1909 them that hadG264 notG3361 sinnedG264 afterG1909 the similitudeG3667 of Adam'sG76 transgressionG3847, whoG3739 isG2076 the figureG5179 of him that was to comeG3195.
UnderstandH995, ye brutishH1197 among the peopleH5971: and ye foolsH3684, when will ye be wiseH7919?
RichesH1952 profitH3276 not in the dayH3117 of wrathH5678: but righteousnessH6666 deliverethH5337 from deathH4194.
AndG2532 asG2596+G3745 it is appointedG606 unto menG444 onceG530 to dieG599, butG1161 afterG3326 thisG5124 the judgmentG2920:
Whoso lovethH157 instructionH4148 lovethH157 knowledgeH1847: but he that hatethH8130 reproofH8433 is brutishH1198.
Yea, I hatedH8130 all my labourH5999 which I had takenH6001 under the sunH8121: because I should leaveH3240 it unto the manH120 that shall be afterH310 me. {taken: Heb. laboured}
And who knowethH3045 whether he shall be a wiseH2450 man or a foolH5530? yet shall he have ruleH7980 over all my labourH5999 wherein I have labouredH5998, and wherein I have shewed myself wiseH2449 under the sunH8121. This is also vanityH1892.
But they are altogetherH259 brutishH1197 and foolishH3688: the stockH6086 is a doctrineH4148 of vanitiesH1892. {altogether: Heb. in one, or, at once}
For there isH3426 a manH120 whose labourH5999 is in wisdomH2451, and in knowledgeH1847, and in equityH3788; yet to a manH120 that hath not labouredH5998 therein shall he leaveH5414 it for his portionH2506. This also is vanityH1892 and a greatH7227 evilH7451. {leave: Heb. give}
For God givethH5414 to a manH120 that is goodH2896 in his sightH6440 wisdomH2451, and knowledgeH1847, and joyH8057: but to the sinnerH2398 he givethH5414 travailH6045, to gatherH622 and to heap upH3664, that he may giveH5414 to him that is goodH2896 beforeH6440 GodH430. This also is vanityH1892 and vexationH7469 of spiritH7307. {in his…: Heb. before him}
There isH3426 a soreH2470 evilH7451 which I have seenH7200 under the sunH8121, namely, richesH6239 keptH8104 for the ownersH1167 thereof to their hurtH7451.
But those richesH6239 perishH6 by evilH7451 travailH6045: and he begettethH3205 a sonH1121, and there is nothingH3972 in his handH3027.
As he came forthH3318 of his mother'sH517 wombH990, nakedH6174 shall he returnH7725 to goH3212 as he cameH935, and shall takeH5375 nothingH3972 of his labourH5999, which he may carry awayH3212 in his handH3027.
And thisH2090 also is a soreH2470 evilH7451, that in all pointsH5980 as he cameH935, so shall he goH3212: and what profitH3504 hath he that hath labouredH5998 for the windH7307?
As the partridgeH7124 sittethH1716 on eggs, and hatchethH3205 them not; so he that gettethH6213 richesH6239, and not by rightH4941, shall leaveH5800 them in the midstH2677 of his daysH3117, and at his endH319 shall be a foolH5036. {sitteth…: or, gathereth young which she hath not brought forth}
ButG1161 GodG2316 saidG2036 unto himG846, Thou foolG878, thisG5026 nightG3571 thyG4675 soulG5590 shall be requiredG523 ofG575 theeG4675: thenG1161 whoseG5101 shall those things beG2071, whichG3739 thou hast providedG2090? {thy…: Gr. do they require thy soul}
ButG1161 godlinessG2150 withG3326 contentmentG841 isG2076 greatG3173 gainG4200.
ForG1063 we broughtG1533 nothingG3762 intoG1519 this worldG2889, and it is certainG1212+G3754 we canG1410 carryG1627 nothingG3761+G5100 outG1627.
AndG1161 havingG2192 foodG1305 andG2532 raimentG4629 let us beG714 therewithG5125 contentG714.
ButG1161 they that willG1014 be richG4147 fallG1706 intoG1519 temptationG3986 andG2532 a snareG3803, andG2532 into manyG4183 foolishG453 andG2532 hurtfulG983 lustsG1939, whichG3748 drownG1036 menG444 inG1519 destructionG3639 andG2532 perditionG684.
ForG1063 the love of moneyG5365 isG2076 the rootG4491 of allG3956 evilG2556: whichG3739 while someG5100 coveted afterG3713, they have erredG635 fromG575 the faithG4102, andG2532 piercedG4044 themselvesG1438 throughG4044 with manyG4183 sorrowsG3601. {erred: or, been seduced}
