“I will incline my ear to a parable; I will open my proposition on the psaltery.”
“They saw it, and so were full of wonder; they were troubled, and went quickly away in fear.”

Hear these things, all nations. Pay attention, all inhabitants of the world:
whoever is earth-born, you sons of men, together as one, the rich and the poor.
My mouth will speak wisdom, and the meditation of my heart will speak prudence.
I will incline my ear to a parable. I will open my case with the psaltery.
Why should I fear in the evil day? The iniquity at my heel will surround me.
Those who trust in their own strength and who glory in the multitude of their riches,
no brother redeems, nor will man buy back. He will not give to God his appeasement,
