Psalm 49:14
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 beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling. (Psalm 49:14)
Grave.
 Heb. she’ol (see on Prov. 15:11).
Shall feed on.
Heb. ra‘ah, “to feed a flock,” “to perform the function of a shepherd.”
The idea is not that death shall eat them, but that death shall be their shepherd.
Beauty.
The body crumbles to dust.
