Psalm 49:9 in context

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