Psalm 49:8 in context

  1. 6They that trust in their wealth, And boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
  2. 7None of them can by any means redeem his brother, Nor give to God a ransom for him
  3. 8(For the redemption of their life is costly, And it faileth for ever),
  4. 9That he should still live alway, That he should not see corruption.
  5. 10For he shall see it. Wise men die; The fool and the brutish alike perish, And leave their wealth to others.
