2Both men of low and men of high degree, rich and poor alike.
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 riddle upon the harp.
5Wherefore should I fear in the days of adversity, when the iniquity of my supplanters encompasseth me? —
6They depend upon their wealth, and boast themselves in the abundance of their riches. ...
7None 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 given up for ever,)
9That he should still live perpetually, and not see corruption.
10For he seeth that wise men die; all alike, the fool and the brutish perish, and they leave their wealth to others.
11Their inward thought is, that their houses are for ever, their dwelling-places from generation to generation: they call the lands after their own names.
