5. Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, When iniquity at my heels compasseth me about?
6. They that trust in their wealth, And boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
7. None of them can by any means redeem his brother, Nor give to God a ransom for him;
8. (For the redemption of their life is costly, And it faileth for ever;)
9. That he should still live alway, That he should not see corruption.
10. For he shall see it. Wise men die; The fool and the brutish alike perish, And leave their wealth to others.
11. Their 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.
