1. ‭Listen to this, all you people!
‭Pay attention, everyone in the world!‭

2. ‭High and low,
‭rich and poor— listen!‭

‭3. For my words are wise,
‭and my thoughts are filled with insight.‭

4. ‭I listen carefully to many proverbs
‭and solve riddles with inspiration from a harp.‭

‭5. Why should I fear when trouble comes,
‭when enemies surround me?‭

‭6. They trust in their wealth
‭and boast of great riches.‭

‭7. Yet they cannot redeem themselves from death
‭by paying a ransom to God.‭

8. ‭Redemption does not come so easily,
‭for no one can ever pay enough‭

‭9. to live forever
‭and never see the grave.‭

‭10. Those who are wise must finally die,
‭just like the foolish and senseless,
‭leaving all their wealth behind.‭

‭11. The grave is their eternal home,
‭where they will stay forever.
‭They may name their estates after themselves,‭

‭12. but their fame will not last.
‭They will die, just like animals.‭

13. ‭This is the fate of fools,
‭though they are remembered as being wise.
‭‭
‭14. Like sheep, they are led to the grave,
‭where death will be their shepherd.
‭In the morning the godly will rule over them.
‭Their bodies will rot in the grave,
‭far from their grand estates.‭

15. ‭But as for me, God will redeem my life.
‭He will snatch me from the power of the grave.
‭‭
16. ‭So don’t be dismayed when the wicked grow rich
‭and their homes become ever more splendid.‭

‭17. For when they die, they take nothing with them.
‭Their wealth will not follow them into the grave.‭

18. ‭In this life they consider themselves fortunate
‭and are applauded for their success.‭

‭19. But they will die like all before them
‭and never again see the light of day.‭

20. ‭People who boast of their wealth don’t understand;
‭they will die, just like animals.
