Church of England 1662 Book of Common Prayer

English.png English text

1  O hear ye this, all ye people : ponder it with your ears, all ye that dwell in the world;

2  High and low, rich and poor : one with another.

3  My mouth shall speak of wisdom : and my heart shall muse of understanding.

4  I will incline mine ear to the parable : and shew my dark speech upon the harp.

5  Wherefore should I fear in the days of wickedness : and when the wickedness of my heels compasseth me round about?

6  There be some that put their trust in their goods : and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches.

7  But no man may deliver his brother : nor make agreement unto God for him;

8  For it cost more to redeem their souls : so that he must let that alone for ever;

9  Yea, though he live long : and see not the grave.

10  For he seeth that wise men also die, and perish together : as well as the ignorant and foolish, and leave their riches for other.

11  And yet they think that their houses shall continue for ever : and that their dwelling-places shall endure from one generation to another; and call the lands after their own names.

12  Nevertheless, man will not abide in honour : seeing he may be compared unto the beasts that perish; this is the way of them.

13  This is their foolishness : and their posterity praise their saying.

14  They lie in the hell like sheep, death gnaweth upon them, and the righteous shall have domination over them in the morning : their beauty shall consume in the sepulchre out of their dwelling.

15  But God hath delivered my soul from the place of hell : for he shall receive me.

16  Be not thou afraid, though one be made rich : or if the glory of his house be increased;

17  For he shall carry nothing away with him when he dieth : neither shall his pomp follow him.

18  For while he lived, he counted himself an happy man : and so long as thou doest well unto thyself, men will speak good of thee.

19  He shall follow the generation of his fathers : and shall never see light.

20  Man being in honour hath no understanding : but is compared unto the beasts that perish.
