The Folly of Trusting in Riches

Psalms 49:5-12
5
Wherefore should I feare in the euil dayes, when iniquitie shall compasse me about, as at mine heeles?
6
They trust in their goods, and boast them selues in the multitude of their riches.
7
Yet a man can by no meanes redeeme his brother: he can not giue his raunsome to God,
8
(So precious is the redemption of their soules, and the continuance for euer)
9
That he may liue still for euer, and not see the graue.
10
For he seeth that wise men die, and also that the ignorant and foolish perish, and leaue their riches for others.
11
Yet they thinke, their houses, and their habitations shall continue for euer, euen from generation to generation, and call their lands by their names.
12
But man shall not continue in honour: he is like the beastes that die.
