4I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
5Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, When the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?
6They that trust in their wealth, And boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
7None of them can by any means redeem his brother, Nor give to God a ransom for him:
8(For the redemption of their soul is precious, And it ceaseth for ever:)
9That he should still live for ever, And not see corruption.
Psalms 49
