Psalms 49:6-20 There be some that put theyr in trust their goodes, & boast them selues in the multitude of theyr ryches.

Great⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ There be some that put theyr in trust their goodes, & boast them selues in the multitude of theyr ryches. ⁷ But no man maye delyuer hys brother, ner make agrement vnto God for hym. ⁸ For it costeth more to redeme theyr soules, so that he must let that alone for euer. ⁹ Yee, though he lyue longe, and se nat the graue. ¹⁰ For he seeth, that wyse men also dye, and peryshe together, as well as the ignoraunt & folysh, and leaue theyr ryches for other: ¹¹ And yet they thynke, that theyr houses shall continue for euer, and that theyr dwelling places shall endure from one generacyon to another, & call the landes after theyr awne names. ¹² Neuerthelesse, man wyll not abyde in honour, seyng he maye be compared vnto the beastes that peryshe: this is the waye of them. ¹³ Thys is their folyshnesse, and their posterite prayse their sayeng. Sela. ¹⁴ They lye in the hell lyke shepe, death gnaweth vpon them, and the ryghteous shall haue dominacyon of them in the mornynge: theyr bewtye shall consume in the sepulchre out of theyr dwellynge. ¹⁵ But God shall delyuer my soule from the place of hell, for he shall receaue me. Sela. ¹⁶ Be not thou afrayed though one be made ryche, or yf the glory of hys house be increased. ¹⁷ For he shall cary nothyng awaye with hym when he dyeth, nether shall hys pompe folowe hym: ¹⁸ For whyle he lyued, he counted hymselfe an happye man: and so longe as thou doest well vnto thy selfe, men wyll speake good of the. ¹⁹ He shall folowe the generacyons of hys fathers, and shall neuer se lyght. ²⁰ Man beynge in honoure hath no vnderstandyng, but is compared vnto the beastes, that peryshe.
