tence: as much as to say no man can by any price or ransom
prolong his life, that so he may still continue to labour here, and live
to the end of the world. Others understand it of the eternal sorrows,
and dying life of hell, which is the dreadful consequence of dying in
sin.

48:10. And shall still live unto the end.

48:11. He shall not see destruction, when he shall see the wise dying:
the senseless and the fool shall perish together: And they shall leave
their riches to strangers:

He shall not see destruction, etc... Or, shall he not see destruction?
As much as to say, however thoughtless he may be of his death, he must
not expect to escape; when even the wise and the good are not exempt
from dying.

48:12. And their sepulchres shall be their houses for ever. Their
dwelling places to all generations: they have called their lands by
their names.

They have called, etc... That is, they have left their names on their
graves, which alone remain of their lands.

48:13. And man when he was in honour did not understand; he is compared
to senseless beasts, and is become like to them.

48:14. This way of theirs is a stumblingblock to them: and afterwards
they shall delight in their mouth.

They shall delight in their mouth... Notwithstanding the wretched way in
which they walk, they shall applaud themselves with their mouths, and
glory in their doings.

48:15. They are laid in hell like sheep: death shall feed upon them. And
the just shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their help
shall decay in hell from their glory.

In the morning... That is, in the resurrection to a new life; when the
just shall judge and condemn the wicked. Ibid. From their glory... That
is, when their short-lived glory in this world shall be past, and be no
more.

48:16. But God will redeem my soul from the hand of hell, when he shall
receive me.

48:17. Be not thou afraid, when a man shall be made rick, and when the
glory of his house shall be increased.

48:18. For when he shall die he shall take nothing away; nor shall his
glory descend with him.

48:19. For in his lifetime his soul will be blessed: and he will praise
thee when thou shalt do well to him.

48:20. He shall g in to the gneerations of his fathers: and he shall
never see light.

48:21. Man when he was in honour did not understand: he hath been
compared to senseless beasts, and made like to them.
