| 2 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Both low and high, Rich and poor together. |
| 3 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData My mouth shall speak wisdom; And the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding. |
| 4 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp. |
| 5 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, When iniquity at my heels compasseth me about? |
| 6 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData They that trust in their wealth, And boast themselves in the multitude of their riches; |
| 7 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData None `of them' can by any means redeem his brother, Nor give to God a ransom for him; |
| 8 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData (For the redemption of their life is costly, And it faileth for ever;) |

fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData They are appointed as a flock for Sheol; Death shall be their shepherd; And the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; And their beauty shall be for Sheol to consume, That there be no habitation for it. |
| 15 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol; For he will receive me. Selah |
| 16 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, When the glory of his house is increased. |
| 17 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away; His glory shall not descend after him. |
| 18 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Though while he lived he blessed his soul (And men praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself,) |
