Psalms 49:4-9

⁴I will incline mine ear to a parable, I will open my riddle upon the harp.

⁵Wherefore should I fear in the days of adversity, when the iniquity of my supplanters encompasseth me? —

⁶They depend upon their wealth, and boast themselves in the abundance of their riches. ...

⁷None can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him,

⁸(For the redemption of their soul is costly, and must be given up for ever,)

⁹That he should still live perpetually, and not see corruption.
