jub@Psalms:49:1 @ <<To the Overcomer, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.>> Hear this, all [ye] people; give ear, all [ye] inhabitants of the world:

jub@Psalms:49:2 @ Both low and high, rich and poor, together.

jub@Psalms:49:3 @ My mouth shall speak wisdom; and the meditation of my heart intelligence.

jub@Psalms:49:4 @ I will incline mine ear to a parable; I will declare my enigma upon the harp.

jub@Psalms:49:5 @ Why should I fear in the days of adversity [when] the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?

jub@Psalms:49:6 @ Those that trust in their wealth and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;

jub@Psalms:49:7 @ none [of them] can by any means ransom his brother, nor give God an atonement for him;

jub@Psalms:49:8 @ (for the redemption of their soul [is] of great price, and they shall never pay [it])

jub@Psalms:49:9 @ that he should still live for ever [and] not see corruption.

jub@Psalms:49:10 @ For he sees [that] all the wise men die, likewise the fool and the ignorant perish and leave their wealth to others.

jub@Psalms:49:11 @ Their inward thought [is] [that] their houses are eternal [and] their dwelling places to all generations; they call [their] lands after their own names.

jub@Psalms:49:12 @ Nevertheless man will not abide [forever] in honour; he is like the beasts [that] are cut off.

jub@Psalms:49:13 @ This their way [is] their folly; yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.

jub@Psalms:49:15 @ Surely God will ransom my soul from the hand of Sheol when he shall take me. Selah.

jub@Psalms:49:16 @ Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;

jub@Psalms:49:17 @ for in his death he shall carry nothing away; nor shall his glory descend after him.

jub@Psalms:49:18 @ Though while he lives, his life shall be blessed: and [men] will praise thee when thou art prosperous.

jub@Psalms:49:19 @ He shall enter into the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light forever.

jub@Psalms:49:20 @ Man [that is] in honour that does not understand is like the beasts [that] are cut off.:
