Psalms 49:5-13

Psalms 49:5-13

[5] Wherefore should I fear  in the days  of evil,  when the iniquity  of my heels  shall compass  [6] They that trust  in their wealth,  and boast  themselves in the multitude  of their riches;  [7] None of them can  by any means  his brother,  nor give  to God  a ransom  [8] (For the redemption  of their soul  is precious,  and it ceaseth  for ever:)  [9] That he should still live  for ever,  and not see  corruption.  [10] For he seeth  that wise men  die,  likewise  the fool  and the brutish person  perish,  and leave  their wealth  to others.  [11] Their inward  thought is, that their houses  shall continue for ever,  and their dwelling  places to all  they call  their lands  after their own names.  [12] Nevertheless man  being in honour  abideth  not: he is like  the beasts  that perish.  [13] This their way  is their folly:  yet their posterity  approve  their sayings.  Selah.
