Psalms 49:7-14

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.

¹⁰For he seeth that wise men die; all alike, the fool and the brutish perish, and they leave their wealth to others.

¹¹Their inward thought is, that their houses are for ever, their dwelling-places from generation to generation: they call the lands after their own names.

¹²Nevertheless, man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.

¹³This their way is their folly, yet they that come after them delight in their sayings. Selah.

¹⁴Like sheep are they laid in Sheol: Death feedeth on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their comeliness shall be for Sheol to consume, that there be no habitation for them.
