This man has lived and planned for self. He sees that the future is abundantly provided for; there is nothing for him now but to treasure and enjoy the fruits of his labors. He regards himself as favored above other men, and takes credit to himself for his wise management. He is honored by his fellow townsmen as a man of good judgment and a prosperous citizen. For "men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself." Ps. 49:18.

Denne mand har levet og lagt planer for sig selv. Han ser at der er sørget rigeligt for fremtiden, og nu har han ikke andet at gøre end at glæde sig og nyde frugterne af sine anstrengelser Han regner sig for at være begunstiget frem for andre mennesker og roser sig af sin dygtighed. Han bliver æret af sine medborgere som en mand med god dømmekraft og en fremgangsrig borger "De lover dig for din lykke!"
