Psalms 49:8-12 God's Word Translation (GW)

8. The price to be paid for his soul is too costly.He must always give up

9. in order to live forever and never see the pit.

10. Indeed, one can see that wise people die,that foolish and stupid people meet the same end.They leave their riches to others.

11. Although they named their lands after themselves,their graves have become their homes for ages to come,their dwelling places throughout every generation.

12. But mortals will not continue here with what they treasure.They are like animals that die.
