HEAR this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015197">2</a>. Both low and high, rich and poor, together.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015198">3</a>. My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015199">4</a>. I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015200">5</a>. Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015201">6</a>. They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015202">7</a>. None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015203">8</a>. (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015204">9</a>. That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015205">10</a>. For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015206">11</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015207">12</a>. Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015208">13</a>. This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings.  Selah.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015209">14</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015210">15</a>. But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me.  Selah.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015211">16</a>. Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015212">17</a>. For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015213">18</a>. Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015214">19</a>. He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015215">20</a>. Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.</li>
