PSALMS 49:2-10

²Both low and high, rich and poor together.

³My mouth shall speak wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.

⁴I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.

⁵Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when iniquity at my heels compasseth me about?

⁶They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;

⁷None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:

⁸(For the redemption of their soul is costly, and must be let alone for ever:)

⁹That he should still live alway, that he should not see corruption.

¹⁰For he seeth that wise men die, the fool and the brutish together perish, and leave their wealth to others.
