Commentary on Psalm 49:13 (Summary)

Psaume 49:14 (NEG79)

14 Telle est leur voie, leur folie,Et ceux qui les suivent se plaisent à leurs discours. Pause.

This is the fate of those who trust in themselves; this is how it is with those who like to hear themselves (compare Psalm 49:6). Translated in another way: this road that they travel is their foolishness (as Psalm 49:10 says), and yet their descendants delight in their words. Evil is contagious; it infects others. Foolishness shows up in trusting in oneself, and then trusting in God is no longer necessary. Often, people are impressed by people with big mouths and proud hearts.
