| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2Both low and high, rich and poor, together. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about? |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches; |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him: |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8(For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:) |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Their 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Like 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased; |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish. |
