4 I will incline mine ear to a parable:

5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil,

6 They that trust in their wealth,

7 None

9 That he should still live alway,

10 For he shall see it. Wise men die;

11 Their inward thought is,

12 But man

13 This their way is their folly:

14 They are appointed as a flock for Sheol;

15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol;

16 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich,

17 For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away;

18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul

19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers;

20 Man that is in honor, and understandeth not,
