The Folly of Trusting in Riches.

49{For the choir director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.} Hear this, all peoples; Give ear, all inhabitants of the world,H5329H4210H1121H7141H8085H5971H238H3427H2465 2Both low and high, Rich and poor together.H1121H120H1121H376H6223H34H3162 3My mouth will speak wisdom; And the meditation of my heart [will be] understanding.H6310H1696H2454H1900H3820H8394 4I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will express my riddle on the harp.H5186H241H4912H6605H2420H3658 5Why should I fear in days of adversity, When the iniquity of my foes surrounds me,H3372H3117H7451H5771H6120H5437 6Even those who trust in their wealth, And boast in the abundance of their riches?H982H2428H1984H7230H6239 7No man can by any means redeem [his] brother, Or give to God a ransom for him—H376H6299H6299H251H5414H430H3724 8For the redemption of his soul is costly, And he should cease [trying] forever—H6306H5315H3365H2308H5769 9That he should live on eternally; That he should not undergo decay.H2421H5331H7200H7845 10For he sees [that even] wise men die; The stupid and the senseless alike perish, And leave their wealth to others.H7200H2450H4191H3162H3684H1198H6H5800H2428H312 11Their inner thought is, [that] their houses are forever, [And] their dwelling places to all generations; They have called their lands after their own names.H7130H1004H5769H4908H1755H1755H7121H127H8034 12But man in [his] pomp will not endure; He is like the beasts that perish.H120H3366H3885H4911H929H1820 13This is the way of those who are foolish, And of those after them who approve their words. Selah.H1870H3689H310H7521H6310H5542 14As sheep they are appointed for Sheol; Death shall be their shepherd; And the upright shall rule over them in the morning; And their form shall be for Sheol to consume, So that they have no habitation.H6629H8371H7585H4194H7462H3477H7287H1242H6697H6736H1086H7585H2073 15But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol; For He will receive me. Selah.H430H6299H5315H3027H7585H3947H5542 16Do not be afraid when a man becomes rich, When the glory of his house is increased;H3372H376H6238H3519H1004H7235 17For when he dies he will carry nothing away; His glory will not descend after him.H4194H3947H3519H3381H310 18Though while he lives he congratulates himself— And though [men] praise you when you do well for yourself—H2416H1288H5315H3034H3190 19He shall go to the generation of his fathers; They shall never see the light.H935H1755H1H3808H5331H7200H216 20Man in [his] pomp, yet without understanding, Is like the beasts that perish.H120H3366H995H4911H929H1820
