Psalm 49:13New American Bible - revised edition—but man does not abide in splendor. He is like the beasts—they perish. See the chapter |
Rather we will go on doing what we proposed; we will offer incense to the Queen of Heaven and pour out libations to her, just as we have done, along with our ancestors, our kings and princes, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. Then we had plenty to eat, we prospered, and we suffered no misfortune.
