5 Why should I be afraid in times of trouble,when the sinful deeds of deceptive men threaten to overwhelm me?
6 They trust in their wealthand boast in their great riches.
7 Certainly a man cannot rescue his brother;he cannot pay God an adequate ransom price
8 (the ransom price for a human life is too high,and people go to their final destiny),
9 so that he might continue to live foreverand not experience death.
10 Surely one sees that even wise people die;fools and spiritually insensitive people all pass awayand leave their wealth to others.
11 Their grave becomes their permanent residence,their eternal dwelling place.They name their lands after themselves,
