Psalm 49
The Foolishness of Trusting in Riches.
6Those who trust in their wealth And boast in the abundance of their riches?
7No one can by any means redeem another Or give God a ransom for him—
8For the redemption of his soul is priceless, And he should cease imagining forever—
9That he might live on eternally, That he might not undergo decay.
10¶For he sees that even wise people die; The foolish and the stupid alike perish And leave their wealth to others.
Psalms 49:6-10 (NASB)
