  • Ps 49:6-9 : 6 Why should I fear in evil days, when iniquity surrounds me, at my heels? 7 Those who trust in their wealth and boast in the abundance of their riches— 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.
