Psalms 49:5-10

⁵Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, When iniquity at my heels compasseth 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 life is costly, And it faileth for ever),

⁹That he should still live alway, That he should not see corruption.

¹⁰For he shall see it. Wise men die; The fool and the brutish alike perish, And leave their wealth to others.
