Verse 14
Like sheep they are laid in the grave - לשאול lishol , into sheol, the place of separate spirits.
Death shall feed on them ירעם מות maveth yirem , "Death shall feed them!" What an astonishing change! All the good things of life were once their portion, and they lived only to eat and drink; and now they live in sheol, and Death himself feeds them? and with what? Damnation. Houbigant reads the verse thus: "Like sheep they shall be laid in the place of the dead; death shall feed on them; their morning shepherds rule over them; and their flesh is to be consumed. Destruction is to them in their folds."
