The folly of trusting in riches.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

⁶Those who trust in their wealth, And boast in the multitude of their riches --

⁷None of them can by any means redeem his brother, Nor give God a ransom for him.

⁸For the redemption of their life is costly, No payment is ever enough,

⁹That he should live on forever, That he should not see corruption.

¹⁰For he sees that wise men die; Likewise the fool and the senseless perish, And leave their wealth to others.
