Psalms 48:5-13

⁵Therefore should I fear in the evil day? the iniquity of my heel shall compass me.

⁶They that trust in their strength, and boast themselves in the multitude of their wealth—

⁷A brother does not redeem, shall a man redeem? he shall not give to God a ransom for himself,

⁸or the price of the redemption of his soul, though he labour for ever,

⁹and live to the end, so that he should not see corruption.

¹⁰When he shall see wise men dying, the fool and the senseless one shall perish together; and they shall leave their wealth to strangers.

¹¹And their sepulchres are their houses for ever, even their tabernacles to all generations: they have called their lands after their own names.

¹²And man being in honour, understands not: he is compared to the senseless cattle, and is like to them.

¹³This their way is an offence to them: yet afterwards men will commend their sayings. Pause.
