6 Those who trust in their wealthAnd boast in the multitude of their riches,
7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother,Nor give to God a ransom for him—
8 For the redemption of their souls is costly,And it shall cease forever—
9 That he should continue to live eternally,And not see the Pit.
10 For he sees wise men die;Likewise the fool and the senseless person perish,And leave their wealth to others.
11 Their inner thought is that their houses will last forever,Their dwelling places to all generations;They call their lands after their own names.
12 Nevertheless man, though in honor, does not remain;He is like the beasts that perish.
