MLV(i)
6 Those who trust in their wealth and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches,
7 none 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 fails everlasting),
9 that he should still live always, that he should not see corruption.
10 Because he will see it.
Wise men die. The fool and the stupid alike perish and leave their wealth to others. 11 Their inward thought is that their houses are everlasting, their dwelling-places to all generations. They call their lands after their own names.
12 Even a man in splendor does not abide. He is like the beasts that perish. 13 This way of theirs is their folly. Yet men approve their sayings after them. Selah.
