Psalm 49:6-12 - WEB
6
Those who trust in their wealth, And boast in the multitude of their riches --
7
None of them can by any means redeem his brother, Nor give God a ransom for him.
8
For the redemption of their life is costly, No payment is ever enough,
9
That he should live on forever, That he should not see corruption.
10
For he sees that wise men die; Likewise the fool and the senseless perish, And leave their wealth to others.
11
Their inward thought is, that their houses endure forever, And their dwelling places to all generations. They call their lands after their own names.
12
But man, despite his riches, doesn`t endure. He is like the animals that perish.
