‏ Psalms 49:14

14. Like sheep--(compare Psa 49:12) unwittingly, they

are laid--or, "put," &c.

death shall feed on--or, better, "shall rule"

them--as a shepherd (compare "feed," Psa 28:9, Margin).

have dominion over--or, "subdue"

them in the morning--suddenly, or in their turn.

their beauty--literally, "form" or shape.

shall consume--literally, "is for the consumption," that is, of the grave.

from their dwelling--literally, "from their home (they go) to it," that is, the grave.
