6 men who trust in their wealth

and boast of the abundance of their riches?

7 Truly no man can ransom himself,o

or give to God the price of his life,

8 for the ransom of hisp life is costly,

and can never suffice,

9 that he should continue to live on for ever,

and never see the Pit.

10 Yea, he shall see that even the wise die,

the fool and the stupid alike must perish

and leave their wealth to others.

11 Their gravesq are their homes for ever,

their dwelling places to all generations,

though they named lands their own.
