(American Standard Version)

  • 1 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 of them can by any means redeem his brother, Nor give to God a ransom for him;
  • 8 (For the redemption of their life is costly, And it faileth for ever;)
  • 9 That he should still live alway, That he should not see corruption.
  • 10 For he shall see it. Wise men die; The fool and the brutish alike 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 But man being in honor abideth not: He is like the beasts that perish.
  • 13 This their way is their folly: Yet after them men approve their sayings. 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 will 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 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 honor, and understandeth not, Is like the beasts that perish.
