13 Here is what happens to fools
and to those who trust
    the words of fools:[a]
14 They are like sheep
with death as their shepherd,
    leading them to the grave.
In the morning God's people
    will walk all over them,[b]
as their bodies lie rotting
    in their home, the grave.
15 But God will rescue me
    from the power of death.
