Psalms 49:14 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Sheep — Which for a season are in sweet pastures, but at the owner's pleasure are led away to the slaughter. Death — The first death shall consume their bodies, and the second death shall devour their souls. The upright — Good men whom they abused at their pleasure. Morning — In the day of the general judgment, and the resurrection of the dead. Beauty — All their glory and felicity. Dwelling — They shall be hurried from their large and stately mansions, into a close and dark grave.

Psalms 49:14

14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beautyc shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.
