5 I am not afraid in times of dangerwhen I am surrounded by enemies,
6 by evil people who trust in their richesand boast of their great wealth.
7 A person can never redeem himself;he cannot pay God the price for his life,
8 because the payment for a human life is too great.What he could pay would never be enough
9 to keep him from the grave,to let him live for ever.
10 Anyone can see that even the wise die,as well as the foolish and stupid.They all leave their riches to their descendants.
11 Their graves are their homes for ever;there they stay for all time,though they once had lands of their own.
