1 Hear this, all people, and give ear [All you] that in the world do dwell;
1 HEar this, all people, and give ear [All you] that in the world do dwell;
2 Both low and high, both rich and poor, My mouth [to you] shall wisdom tell.
3 My heart shall knowledge meditate; I will [also] incline mine ear
4 To parables: And on the harp My sayings dark [I will] declare.
5 Why should I fear in evil days, When [fruits of] mine iniquities Of my own he'll surround me with [Many] deserved calamities.
