Psalms:49:6-20
Seeker Overlay ON
*
They that trust in their wealth ,
and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches ;
*
None of them can by any means redeem his brother ,
nor give to God a ransom for him :
* (
For the redemption of their soul is precious ,
and it ceaseth for ever : )
*
That he should still live for ever ,
and not see corruption .
*
For he seeth that wise men die ,
likewise the fool and the brutish person perish ,
and leave their wealth to others .
*
Their inward thought is ,
that their houses shall continue for ever ,
and their dwelling places to all generations ;
they call their lands after their own names .
*
Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not :
he is like the beasts that perish .
*
This their way is their folly :
yet their posterity approve their sayings .
Selah .
*
Like sheep they are laid in the grave sh @#
owl #;
death shall feed on them ;
and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning ;
and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling .
*
But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave sh @#
owl #:
for he shall receive me .
Selah .
*
Be not thou afraid when one is made rich ,
when the glory of his house is increased ;
*
For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away :
his glory shall not descend after him .
*
Though while he lived he blessed his soul :
and men will praise thee ,
when thou doest well to thyself .
*
He shall go to the generation of his fathers ;
they shall never lo #
see light .
*
Man that is in honour ,
and understandeth not ,
is like the beasts that perish .
