Psalms 49:6-14

⁶They trust in their goods, and boast them selues in the multitude of their riches.

⁷Yet a man can by no meanes redeeme his brother: he can not giue his raunsome to God,

⁸(So precious is the redemption of their soules, and the continuance for euer)

⁹That he may liue still for euer, and not see the graue.

¹⁰For he seeth that wise men die, and also that the ignorant and foolish perish, and leaue their riches for others.

¹¹Yet they thinke, their houses, and their habitations shall continue for euer, euen from generation to generation, and call their lands by their names.

¹²But man shall not continue in honour: he is like the beastes that die.

¹³This their way vttereth their foolishnes: yet their posteritie delite in their talke. Selah.

¹⁴Like sheepe they lie in graue: death deuoureth them, and the righteous shall haue domination ouer them in the morning: for their beautie shall consume, when they shall goe from their house to graue.
