1 Hear this, all you people;give ear, all you inhabitants of the world,
2 both low and high,rich and poor together.
3 My mouth will speak wisdom,and the meditation of my heart will be understanding.
4 I will incline my ear to a parable;I will expound my riddle with a harp.
5 Why should I fear in the days of evil,when the iniquity of my stalkers surrounds me?
6 Those who trust in their wealth,and boast in the multitude of their riches,
