  • Ps 49:8-9 : 8 no man can redeem another or give to God a ransom for him— 9 for the redemption of their soul is costly, and it ceases forever— 10 that he should live on forever and not see the pit of decay. 11 For he sees that even the wise die; the fool and the senseless alike perish and leave their wealth to others. 12 Their inward thought is that their houses will last forever, and their dwelling places for all generations; they call their lands by their own names. 13 But man in his honor does not remain; he is like the beasts that perish. 14 This is their fate, their foolish confidence. And yet, after them, people approve their words. Selah. 15 Like sheep, they are appointed for Sheol; Death will shepherd them. The upright will rule over them in the morning, and their form will decay in the grave, far from lofty dwellings.
