2Hear these things all ye Gentiles: receive with your ears all ye, that inhabit the earth.HEARE theſe thinges al ye Gentiles: receiue with your eares al ye, that inhabite the earth.Audite hæc, omnes gentes ; auribus percipite, omnes qui habitatis orbem :
3All ye earthly persons, and children of men: together in one the rich and the poor.Al ye earthly perſons, and children of men: together in one the rich and the poore.quique terrigenæ et filii hominum, simul in unum dives et pauper.

6Why shall I fear in the evil day? the iniquity of my heel shall circumdabit: to attain, accomplish; surround, encircle me.Why ſhal I feare in the euil day? the iniquitie of my heele ſhal compaſſe me.Cur timebo in die mala ? iniquitas calcanei mei circumdabit me.

8A brother doth not redeem, man shall redeem: he shall not give unto God his placationem: renewal of friendship, making-up; propitiation, atonement price.A brother doth not redeme, man ſhal redeme: he ſhal not geue vnto God his reconciliation.Frater non redimit, redimet homo : non dabit Deo placationem suam,
9And the price of the redemption of his own soul: and he shall labour for ever,And the price of the redemption of his owne ſoule: and he ſhal labour for euer,et pretium redemptionis animæ suæ. Et laborabit in æternum ;
10and shall live yet unto the end.and ſhall liue yet vnto the end.et vivet adhuc in finem.
11He shall not see death, when he shall see the wise dying the unwise, and the fool shall perish together.

And they ſhal leaue their riches to ſtrangers:Non videbit interitum, cum viderit sapientes morientes : simul insipiens et stultus peribunt. Et relinquent alienis divitias suas,
12and their sepulchres their houses for ever. Their Tabernacles in generation and generation: they have renowned their names in their lands.and their ſepulchers their houſes for euer. Their Tabernacles in generation and generation: they haue renowmed their names in their landes.et sepulchra eorum domus illorum in æternum ; tabernacula eorum in progenie et progenie : vocaverunt nomina sua in terris suis.
13And man, when he was in honour, did not understand: he was compared to beasts without understanding, and became like to them.And man, when he was in honour, did not vnderſtand: he was compared to beaſts without vnderſtanding, and became like to them.Et homo, cum in honore esset, non intellexit. Comparatus est jumentis insipientibus, et similis factus est illis.

15As sheep they are put in hell: death shall feed upon them. And the just shall rule over them in the morning: and their aid shall veterascet: the substance beeswax; grow, become old in hell from their glory.As ſheepe they are put in hel: death ſhal feede vpon them. And the iuſt ſhal rule ouer them in the morning: and their aide ſhal waxe old in hel from their glorie.Sicut oves in inferno positi sunt : mors depascet eos. Et dominabuntur eorum justi in matutino ; et auxilium eorum veterascet in inferno a gloria eorum.

17Fear not when a man shall be made rich: and when the glory of his house shall be multiplied,Feare not when a man ſhal be made rich: and when the glory of his houſe ſhal be multiplied,Ne timueris cum dives factus fuerit homo, et cum multiplicata fuerit gloria domus ejus :
18Because when he shall die, he shall not take all things: neither shall his glory go down with him.Becauſe when he ſhal dye, he ſhal not take al thinges: neyther ſhal his glorie goe downe with him.quoniam, cum interierit, non sumet omnia, neque descendet cum eo gloria ejus.

Comparatus est jumentis insipientibus, et similis factus est illis.
