6 by evil people who trust in their richesand boast of their great wealth.
7 We can never redeem ourselves;we cannot pay God the price for our lives,
8 because the payment for a human life is too great.What we could pay would never be enough
9 to keep us from the grave,to let us live forever.
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 forever;there they stay for all time,though they once had lands of their own.
12 Our greatness cannot keep us from death;we will still die like the animals.
