Psalms 49:12-20

¹²A man/Man, when he was in honour, understood not; he is compar-isoned to unwise beasts, and is made like to those or them.

¹³This way of them is cause of stumbling to them; and afterward they shall please altogether in their mouth.

¹⁴As sheep they be put in hell; death shall gnaw them. And just men shall be lords of them in the morrow-tide; and the help of them shall wax eld or old in hell, for or from the glory of them.

¹⁵Nevertheless God shall again-buy my soul from the power of hell; when he shall take me.

¹⁶Dread thou not, when a man is made rich; and when the glory of his house is multiplied.

¹⁷For when he shall die, he shall not take all things with him; and his glory shall not go down with him.

¹⁸For his soul shall be blessed in his life; he shall acknowledge to thee, when thou hast done well to him.

¹⁹He shall enter till into the gener-ations of his fathers; and till into with-out end he shall not see light.

²⁰A man/Man, when he was in honour, understood not; he is com-parisoned to unwise beasts, and is made like to those or them.
