299. Psalm 49 title, 1-4 (H.B. 1-5) Let there be attention to the following: 2 5, 6 (H.B. 6, 7) Respecting those who are merely natural, and boast of knowledges [scientifica] and their own intelligence. 2 7-9 (H.B. 8-10) No salvation comes from that source. 2 10-13 (H.B. 11-14) However much they may boast of such things, they perish, 2, 15 14 (H.B. 15) and come into hell. 2, 15 15 (H.B. 16) Salvation is solely in the Lord. 17 16-20 (H.B. 17-21) Knowledge [scientia] and one's own intelligence does not save after death. 2
