Psalm 49 English Standard Version (ESV)
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah.
Hear this, all peoples! Give ear, all inhabitants of the world,
both low and high, rich and poor together! My mouth shall speak
wisdom; the meditation of my heart shall be understanding. I
will incline my ear to a proverb; I will solve my riddle to the
music of the lyre.
Why should I fear in times of trouble, when the iniquity of
those who cheat me surrounds me, those who trust in their wealth
and boast of the abundance of their riches?
Truly no man can ransom another, or give to God the price of his
life, for the ransom of their life is costly and can never
suffice, that he should live on forever and never see the pit.
For he sees that even the wise die; the fool and the stupid
alike must perish and leave their wealth to others. Their graves
are their homes forever *, their dwelling places to all
generations, though they called lands by their own names. Man in
his pomp will not remain; he is like the beasts that perish.
This is the path of those who have foolish confidence; yet after
them people approve of their boasts **. Selah
Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol; death shall be their
shepherd, and the upright shall rule over them in the morning.
Their form shall be consumed in Sheol, with no place to dwell.
But God will ransom my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will
receive me. Selah
Be not afraid when a man becomes rich, when the glory of his
house increases. For when he dies he will carry nothing away;
his glory will not go down after him. For though, while he
lives, he counts himself blessed —and though you get praise when
you do well for yourself— his soul will go to the generation of
his fathers, who will never again see light.
Man in his pomp yet without understanding is like the beasts
that perish.

thought was that their homes were forever

boasts

Doug Anderson, like too few humans today, understands the cause
and effect message within that quote from the Talmud. That is,
that God centered Caring Capacity, not worries and decisions
made based on human centered Carrying Capacity, is what God
celebrates, rewards and requires (see: ... neither are you free
to abandon it.) in us. When we put material Carrying Capacity
above all other considerations, we are in danger of losing our
souls. God centered Caring Capacity is not optional for the
Salvation seeking Servant of God.

DIR By: AGelbert

I have a mental picture of those locked into the 'greed +
ambition = IT' world view. It is not pretty. However, it is not
particularly ghastly. It is mostly, just sad. Why? Because all
this destruction is so unnecessary for absolutely any of the
reasons that elite profit over people and planet humans wrap
around themselves like a comfortable blindfold.
I'm sure you've heard about the two groups of people sitting at
two tables. One group is starving to death and one group is
eating well. Both groups have the same amount of food on the
table. Neither group can use anything but spoons to reach the
food. However the spoons are longer than a person's arm (You
cannot cheat by holding the spoon near the spoon cup, instead of
at the end of the handle). IOW, you cannot feed yourself with
the spoon you have.
One group spoons the food and feeds others in the group. They
eat well. They live in harmony. They know that harmony and
altruism equals survival in peace and plenty. They always look
out for the other person as a utilitarian, practical matter.
Every person in the group knows that if they do not feed someone
else, the others will notice and not feed the selfish one, who
will then starve to death.
The group starving to death is the
HTML http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-130418203402.gif<br
/>'greed + ambition = IT' based human society.
Proverbs predicted all this thousands of years ago:
Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of
the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying, How long,
ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners
delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto
you, I will make known my words unto you.
Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my
hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my
counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your
calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh
as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Then
shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek
me early, but they shall not find me:
For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of
the Lord: They would none of my counsel: they despised all my
reproof.
Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be
filled with their own devices. For the turning away of the
simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall
destroy them. -- Proverbs 1:20-32
Agelbert NOTE: As long as most people are more concerned with
physical safety than spiritual safety, the violent climate
upheavals which are undermining human civilization are
guaranteed to increase in frequency and duration until our
civilization is destroyed.
The 'escape clause', (see below) is NOT about physical safety;
it is about spiritual safety. God fearing people have been
victims of physical violence and various privations from the
beginning, and will continue to suffer many of these harms till
the end.
But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be
quiet from fear of evil -- Proverbs 1:33
