1 Hear this|strong="H1121", all ye peoples;
2 Both|strong="H3605" low and|strong="H5971" high,
3 My|strong="H1571" mouth shall|strong="H1121" speak wisdom;
4 I|strong="H3820" will|strong="H3820" incline mine|strong="H1696" ear to|strong="H1696" a|strong="H3068" parable:
5 Wherefore should I fear in|strong="H4912" the|strong="H5186" days of|strong="H4912" evil,
6 They|strong="H3117" that|strong="H3117" trust in|strong="H3117" their|strong="H3117" wealth,
7 None of them can by|strong="H5921" any means redeem his|strong="H5921" brother,
8 (For|strong="H5414" the|strong="H5414" redemption|strong="H6299" of|strong="H3808" their|strong="H5414" life is|strong="H3808" costly,
9 That|strong="H5315" he|strong="H5315" should still live always|strong="H5769",
10 For|strong="H2421" he|strong="H3808" shall|strong="H3808" see|strong="H7200" it|strong="H7200". Wise men die;
11 Their|strong="H7200" inward thought is|strong="H3684", that their|strong="H7200" houses shall continue forever,
12 But|strong="H5921" man being in|strong="H5921" honor|strong="H8034" abideth not:
13 This|strong="H3885" their way is their folly:
14 They|strong="H6310" are|strong="H1870" appointed as|strong="H6310" a|strong="H3068" flock for|strong="H2088" Sheol;
15 But God will|strong="H3477" redeem my|strong="H7462" soul from|strong="H3477" the|strong="H7462" power of|strong="H4194" Sheol|strong="H7585";
16 Be|strong="H3027" not|strong="H3588" thou|strong="H3027" afraid when|strong="H3588" one|strong="H3588" is|strong="H5315" made|strong="H3947" rich,
17 For|strong="H3588" when|strong="H3588" he|strong="H3588" dieth he|strong="H3588" shall|strong="H1004" carry nothing away;
18 Though|strong="H3588" while|strong="H3588" he|strong="H3588" lived he|strong="H3588" blessed his|strong="H3605" soul|strong="H3519"
19 He|strong="H3588" shall|strong="H5315" go|strong="H3190" to|strong="H5315" the|strong="H3588" generation of|strong="H5315" his|strong="H1288" fathers;
20 Man|strong="H7200" that|strong="H7200" is|strong="H1755" in|strong="H1755" honor, and|strong="H7200" understandeth not|strong="H3808",
