| # Chapter 48
#### 1 | Unto the end, a psalm for the sons of Core.
#### 2 | Hear these things, all ye nations: give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world.
#### 3 | All you that are earthborn, and you sons of men: both rich and poor together.
#### 4 | My mouth shall speak wisdom: and the meditation of my heart understanding.
#### 5 | I will incline my ear to a parable; I will open my proposition on the psaltery.
#### 6 | Why shall I fear in the evil day? the iniquity of my heel shall encompass me.
#### 7 | They that trust in their own strength, and glory in the multitude of their riches,
#### 8 | No brother can redeem, nor shall man redeem: he shall not give to God his ransom,
#### 9 | Nor the price of the redemption of his soul: and shall labour for ever,
#### 10 | and shall still live unto the end.
#### 11 | He shall not see destruction, when he shall see the wise dying: the senseless and the fool shall perish together: And they shall leave their riches to strangers:
#### 12 | and their sepulchres shall be their houses for ever. Their dwelling places to all generations: they have called their lands by their names.
#### 13 | And man when he was in honour did not understand; he is compared to senseless beasts, and is become like to them.
#### 14 | This way of theirs is a stumblingblock to them: and afterwards they shall delight in their mouth.
#### 15 | They are laid in hell like sheep: death shall feed upon them. And the just shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their help shall decay in hell from their glory.
#### 16 | But God will redeem my soul from the hand of hell, when he shall receive me.
#### 17 | Be not thou afraid, when a man shall be made rich, and when the glory of his house shall be increased.
#### 18 | For when he shall die he shall take nothing away; nor shall his glory descend with him.
#### 19 | For in his lifetime his soul will be blessed: and he will praise thee when thou shalt do well to him.
#### 20 | He shall go in to the generations of his fathers: and he shall never see light.
#### 21 | Man when he was in honour did not understand: he hath been compared to senseless beasts, and made like to them.
