8(For the redemption of their life is costly,

And it faileth for ever),

9That he should still live alway,

That he should not see corruption.

10For he shall see it.

Wise men die;

The fool and the brutish alike perish,

And leave their wealth to others.

11Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever,

And their dwelling-places to all generations;

They call their lands after their own names.

12But man being in honor abideth not:

He is like the beasts that perish.

13This their way is their folly:

Yet after them men approve their sayings. Selah

14They are appointed as a flock for Sheol;

Death shall be their shepherd;

And the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning;

And their beauty shall be for Sheol to consume,

That there be no habitation for it.

15But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol;

For he will receive me. Selah
