8 the ransom for a life is costly,

no payment is ever enough—

8 (For the redemption of their soul is precious,

And it ceaseth for ever:)

8 Redemption does not come so easily,

for no one can ever pay enough

8 For the redemption of their souls is costly,

And it shall cease forever—

8 because the price of a life is high.

No payment is ever enough.

8 (For the redemption of their life is costly,

And it faileth for ever),

8 (For the redemption of their soul is costly, and must be given up for ever,)

8 The price to be paid for his soul is too costly. 

He must always give up 

8 since the price of redeeming him is too costly,

one should forever stop trying —

8 For the ransom of life is costly,

and can never suffice,

8 (since the redemption price for their life is costly

and it always fails),

8 The price for a life is very high.

No payment is ever enough.

8 For the redemption of his soul is costly,

And he should cease trying forever—
