Translationand he shall labour for ever and shall live still to the end./ He shall not see death: when he shall see the wise/ dying likewise the senseless and the foolish shall perish together./ And they shall leave their riches to strangers:/ and their graves their houses for ever./ Their tents to descendants:/ they have called their names in their lands./ And man when he was in honour did not understand:/ he was compared to beasts without understanding:/ and is made like to them./ This their way is an offence to them:/ and afterward in their mouth they shall take pleasure./ As sheep they are put in hell: death shall feed on them./ And the just shall rule over them in the morning:/ and their help shall grow old in hell from their glory./ Nevertheless god will redeem my soul/ from the hand of hell: when he shall take me./ Fear not when a man shall be made rich:/ and when the glory of his house shall be increased. Because when he shall die he shall not take everything:/ neither shall his glory go down with him./ Because his soul in his life shall be blessed:/ |
