Psalms 49:6-12

JPS_ASV_Byz(i) 6 (49:7) Of them that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches? 7 (49:8) No man can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him - 8 (49:9) For too costly is the redemption of their soul, and must be let alone for ever - 9 (49:10) That he should still live alway, that he should not see the pit. 10 (49:11) For he seeth that wise men die, the fool and the brutish together perish, and leave their wealth to others. 11 (49:12) Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling-places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names. 12 (49:13) But man abideth not in honour; he is like the beasts that perish.
