Read Bible Book Of Psalms Chapter 49 In Online
1 - Hear This, All You Peoples; Listen, All Who Live In This World,
2 - Both Low And High, Rich And Poor Alike:
3 - My Mouth Will Speak Words Of Wisdom; The Utterance From My Heart Will Give Understanding.
4 - I Will Turn My Ear To A Proverb; With The Harp I Will Expound My Riddle:
5 - Why Should I Fear When Evil Days Come, When Wicked Deceivers Surround Me-
6 - Those Who Trust In Their Wealth And Boast Of Their Great Riches?
7 - No Man Can Redeem The Life Of Another Or Give To God A Ransom For Him-
8 - The Ransom For A Life Is Costly, No Payment Is Ever Enough-
9 - That He Should Live On Forever And Not See Decay.
10 - For All Can See That Wise Men Die; The Foolish And The Senseless Alike Perish And Leave Their Wealth To Others.
11 - Their Tombs Will Remain Their Houses Forever, Their Dwellings For Endless Generations, Though They Had Named Lands After Themselves.
12 - But Man, Despite His Riches, Does Not Endure; He Is Like The Beasts That Perish.
13 - This Is The Fate Of Those Who Trust In Themselves, And Of Their Followers, Who Approve Their Sayings. Selah
14 - Like Sheep They Are Destined For The Grave, And Death Will Feed On Them. The Upright Will Rule Over Them In The Morning; Their Forms Will Decay In The Grave, Far From Their Princely Mansions.
15 - But God Will Redeem My Life From The Grave; He Will Surely Take Me To Himself. Selah
16 - Do Not Be Overawed When A Man Grows Rich, When The Splendor Of His House Increases;
17 - For He Will Take Nothing With Him When He Dies, His Splendor Will Not Descend With Him.
18 - Though While He Lived He Counted Himself Blessed- And Men Praise You When You Prosper-
19 - He Will Join The Generation Of His Fathers, Who Will Never See The Light Of Life .
20 - A Man Who Has Riches Without Understanding Is Like The Beasts That Perish.
