Psalms 49:5-12
5Wherefore should I fearH3372 in the daysH3117 of evilH7451, when the iniquityH5771 of my heelsH6120 shall compassH5437 me about?
6They that trustH982 in their wealthH2428, and boastH1984 themselves in the multitudeH7230 of their richesH6239;
7None of them canH376 by any meansH6299 redeemH6299 his brotherH251, nor giveH5414 to GodH430 a ransomH3724 for him:
8(For the redemptionH6306 of their soulH5315 is preciousH3365, and it ceasethH2308 for everH5769:)
9That he should still liveH2421 for everH5331, and not seeH7200 corruptionH7845.
10For he seethH7200 that wise menH2450 dieH4191, likewiseH3162 the foolH3684 and the brutish personH1198 perishH6, and leaveH5800 their wealthH2428 to othersH312.
11Their inwardH7130 thought is, that their housesH1004 shall continue for everH5769, and their dwellingH4908 places to allH1755 generationsH1755; they callH7121 their landsH127 after their own namesH8034.1
12Nevertheless manH120 being in honourH3366 abidethH3885 not: he is likeH4911 the beastsH929 that perishH1820.
