Hear this, all ye peoples; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world: |
2
|
Both low and high, rich and poor together. |
3
|
My mouth shall speak 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 iniquity at my heels compasseth me about? |
6
|
They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches; |
7
|
None {cf15i 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 costly, and must be let alone for ever:) |
9
|
That he should still live alway, that he should not see corruption. |
10
|
For he seeth that wise men die, the fool and the brutish together perish, and leave their wealth to others. |
11
|
Their inward thought is, {cf15i that} their houses {cf15i shall continue} for ever, {cf15i and} their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names. |
12
|
But man abideth not in honour: he is like the beasts that perish. |
13
|
This their way is their folly: yet after them men approve their sayings. {cf15i Selah} |
14
|
They are appointed as a flock for Sheol; death shall be their shepherd: and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall be for Sheol to consume, that there be no habitation for it. |
15
|
But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol: for he shall receive me. {cf15i 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 praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself, |
19
|
He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see the light. |
20
|
Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish. |
