8 No man can ransom even a brother,or pay to God his own ransom.
9 The redemption of his soul is costly;and he will pass away forever.
10 Will he live on forever, then,and never see the Pit of Corruption?
11 Indeed, he will see that the wise die,and the fool will perish together with the senseless,and they leave their wealth to others.
12 Their tombs are their homes forever,their dwellings through all generations,“They named countries after themselves”
13 —but man does not abide in splendor.He is like the beasts—they perish.
14 This is the way of those who trust in themselves,and the end of those who take pleasure in their own mouth.Selah
