For I know that You will bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.

both children of mankind, and sons of men, rich and poor together.

Those who trust in their wealth and boast in the abundance of their riches:

(for the redemption of their soul is precious, and it comes to an end forever),

For he sees wise men die; likewise the fool and the brutish ones perish, and leave their wealth to others.

No one has power over the spirit to restrain the spirit; nor power in the day of death; and there is no discharge from that war; nor shall wickedness deliver its owners.

also they are afraid of the heights, and terrors along the way, and the almond tree blossoms, and the grasshopper is a burden, and desire fails; because man goes to his eternal home, and the mourners go about the streets;

then the dust shall return to the earth as it was, and the spirit shall return to God who gave it.

So it happened that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.

And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

And as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this the judgment,

Like sheep they are appointed to the grave; death shall shepherd them, and the upright shall have the rule over them in the morning; their form is consumed; Sheol is their home.

Be not afraid when one becomes rich, when the glory of his house increases;

For in his life he blessed his own soul (indeed, they praise you when you do well for yourself).

A man with honor, but lacking understanding, is like the animals that perish.
