- Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:
- 2
- Both low and high, rich and poor, together.
- 3
- My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
- 4
- I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
- 5
- Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?
- 6
- They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
- 7
- None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
- 8
- (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)
- 9
- That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.
- 10
- For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
- 11
- Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.
- 12
- Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.
- 13
- This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.
- 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.
- 15
- But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.
- 16
- Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
- 17
- For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.
- 18
- Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.
- 19
- He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.
- 20
- Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.
