Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
Like sheep
(Some words not found in UHB: this way,those foolish in_themselves, and,after,them in/on/at/with,sayings,their approve selah )
The writer compares people who will all die to a flock of sheep. Just as sheep cannot escape when the butcher decides to slaughter them, so men will not escape when it is their time to die.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
they are appointed
(Some words not found in UHB: this way,those foolish in_themselves, and,after,them in/on/at/with,sayings,their approve selah )
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “God has appointed them”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
death will be their shepherd
(Some words not found in UHB: this way,those foolish in_themselves, and,after,them in/on/at/with,sayings,their approve selah )
The writer speaks of men dying by personifying death as a shepherd who leads them into the grave. Alternate translation: “death will take them away as a shepherd leads away sheep to be slaughtered” (See also: figs-metaphor)
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
in the morning
(Some words not found in UHB: this way,those foolish in_themselves, and,after,them in/on/at/with,sayings,their approve selah )
Here the word “morning” is a metaphor that refers to a time when God will vindicate righteous people and save them from evil people.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
their bodies will be consumed in Sheol
(Some words not found in UHB: this way,those foolish in_themselves, and,after,them in/on/at/with,sayings,their approve selah )
The writer speaks of Sheol, the place of the dead, as if it were a person or animal. He speaks of the decay of dead bodies as if Sheol were eating them. Alternate translation: “their bodies will decompose in the grave” (See also: figs-metaphor)
