Luke 11:47,48 Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them… Luke 16:27,28 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: … Lexicon Thisזֶ֣ה (zeh) Pronoun - masculine singular Strong's Hebrew 2088: This, that is the fate דַ֭רְכָּם (ḏar·kām) Noun - common singular construct | third person masculine plural Strong's Hebrew 1870: A road, a course of life, mode of action of the self-confident כֵּ֣סֶל (kê·sel) Noun - masculine singular Strong's Hebrew 3689: Fatness, the loin, the viscera, silliness, trust and their followers וְאַחֲרֵיהֶ֓ם ׀ (wə·’a·ḥă·rê·hem) Conjunctive waw | Preposition | third person masculine plural Strong's Hebrew 310: The hind or following part who endorse יִרְצ֣וּ (yir·ṣū) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine plural Strong's Hebrew 7521: To be pleased with, to satisfy a, debt their sayings. בְּפִיהֶ֖ם (bə·p̄î·hem) Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine plural Strong's Hebrew 6310: The mouth, edge, portion, side, according to Selah סֶֽלָה׃ (se·lāh) Interjection Strong's Hebrew 5542: Suspension, pause (13) This their way--i.e., the folly mentioned in the (amended) preceding verse, and described in Psalm 49:11. Is their folly--i.e., is a way of folly. Verse 13. - This their way is their folly; or, their vain conceit (Kay). By "their way" must be understood the course of conduct described in vers. 7-12. Yet their posterity approve their sayings. Their descendants, or those who come after them, notwithstanding the foolishness of their course, adopt their principles and delight in them. 49:6-14 Here is a description of the spirit and way of worldly people. A man may have wealth, and may have his heart enlarged in love, thankfulness, and obedience, and may do good with it. Therefore it is not men's having riches that proves them to be worldly, but their setting their hearts upon them as the best things. Worldly men have only some floating thoughts of the things of God, while their fixed thoughts, their inward thoughts, are about the world; that lies nearest the heart. But with all their wealth they cannot save the life of the dearest friend they have. This looks further, to the eternal redemption to be wrought out by the Messiah. The redemption of the soul shall cost very dear; but, being once wrought, it shall never need to be repeated. And he, the Redeemer, shall rise again before he sees corruption, and then shall live for evermore, Re 1:18. This likewise shows the folly of worldly people, who sell their souls for that which will never buy them. With all their wealth they cannot secure themselves from the stroke of death. Yet one generation after another applaud their maxims; and the character of a fool, as drawn by heavenly Wisdom itself, Lu 12:16-21, continues to be followed even among professed Christians. Death will ask the proud sinner, Where is thy wealth, thy pomp? And in the morning of the resurrection, when all that sleep in the dust shall awake, the upright shall be advanced to the highest honour, when the wicked shall be filled with everlasting shame and contempt, Da 12:2. Let us now judge of things as they will appear in that day. The beauty of holiness is that alone which the grave cannot touch, or damage.Jump to Previous Approve Children Confidence Destiny End Fate Followers Folly Foolish Gold Pleased Pleasure Portion Posterity Sayings Selah Silver Themselves Trust Way WordsJump to Next Approve Children Confidence Destiny End Fate Followers Folly Foolish Gold Pleased Pleasure Portion Posterity Sayings Selah Silver Themselves Trust Way WordsLinks Psalm 49:13 NIVPsalm 49:13 NLT Psalm 49:13 ESV Psalm 49:13 NASB Psalm 49:13 KJV Psalm 49:13 Bible Apps Psalm 49:13 Biblia Paralela Psalm 49:13 Chinese Bible Psalm 49:13 French Bible Psalm 49:13 German Bible Alphabetical: after and approve are fate followers foolish in is of sayings Selah the their them themselves This those trust way who words OT Poetry: Psalm 49:13 This is the destiny of those who (Psalm Ps Psa.)
