Psalm 49:9-11

Living Bible

^8-9 For a soul is far too precious to be ransomed by mere earthly wealth. There is not enough of it in all the earth to buy eternal life for just one soul, to keep it out of hell.^[a]

¹⁰ Rich man! Proud man! Wise man! You must die like all the rest! You have no greater lease on life than foolish, stupid men. You must leave your wealth to others. ¹¹ You name your estates after yourselves as though your lands could be forever yours and you could live on them eternally.
