4 I will incline my ear to a proverb.I will open my riddle on the harp.
5 Why should I fear in the days of evil,when iniquity at my heels surrounds me?
6 Those who trust in their wealth,and boast in the multitude of their riches—
7 none of them can by any means redeem his brother,nor give God a ransom for him.
8 For the redemption of their life is costly,no payment is ever enough,
9 that he should live on forever,that he should not see corruption.
10 For he sees that wise men die;likewise the fool and the senseless perish,and leave their wealth to others.
