Exodus 11

11:1 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Yet one plague more will I bring upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether.
11:2 Speak now in the ears of the people, and let them ask every man of his neighbor, and every woman of her neighbor, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold.
11:3 And Jehovah gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh’s servants, and in the sight of the people.
11:4 And Moses said, Thus saith Jehovah, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt:
11:5 and all the first-born in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first-born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the first-born of the maid-servant that is behind the mill; and all the first-born of cattle.
11:6 And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there hath not been, nor shall be any more.
11:7 But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that Jehovah doth make a distinction between the Egyptians and Israel.
11:8 And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down themselves unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that follow thee: and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in hot anger.
11:9 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Pharaoh will not hearken unto you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.
11:10 And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and Jehovah hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go out of his land.

Psalm 49:10-20

49:10 For he shall see it. Wise men die; The fool and the brutish alike perish, And leave their wealth to others.
49:11 Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, And their dwelling-places to all generations; They call their lands after their own names.
49:12 But man being in honor abideth not: He is like the beasts that perish.
49:13 This their way is their folly: Yet after them men approve their sayings. [Selah
49:14 They are appointed as a flock for Sheol; Death shall be their shepherd; And the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; And their beauty shall be for Sheol to consume, That there be no habitation for it.
49:15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol; For he will receive me. [Selah
49:16 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, When the glory of his house is increased:
49:17 For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away; His glory shall not descend after him.
49:18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul (And men praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself),
49:19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; They shall never see the light.
49:20 Man that is in honor, and understandeth not, Is like the beasts that perish.

Matthew 23:1-12

23:1 Then spake Jesus to the multitudes and to his disciples,
23:2 saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat:
23:3 all things therefore whatsoever they bid you, these do and observe: but do not ye after their works; for they say, and do not.
23:4 Yea, they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger.
23:5 But all their works they do to be seen of men: for they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
23:6 and love the chief place at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
23:7 and the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called of men, Rabbi.
23:8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your teacher, and all ye are brethren.
23:9 And call no man your father on the earth: for one is your Father, even he who is in heaven.
23:10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your master, even the Christ.
23:11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
23:12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled; and whosoever shall humble himself shall be exalted.
