4 I listen carefully to many proverbsand solve riddles with inspiration from a harp.
5 Why should I fear when trouble comes,when enemies surround me?
6 They trust in their wealthand boast of great riches.
7 Yet they cannot redeem themselves from deathby paying a ransom to God.
8 Redemption does not come so easily,for no one can ever pay enough
9 to live foreverand never see the grave.
10 Those who are wise must finally die,just like the foolish and senseless,leaving all their wealth behind.
