Psalms 49:2-9 Both men of low and men of high degree, rich and poor alike.

Darby⁽ⁱ⁾ ² Both men of low and men of high degree, rich and poor alike. ³ My mouth shall speak wisdom, and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding: ⁴ I will incline mine ear to a parable, I will open my riddle upon the harp. ⁵ Wherefore should I fear in the days of adversity, [when] the iniquity of my supplanters encompasseth me? -- ⁶ They depend upon their wealth, and boast themselves in the abundance of their riches. ... ⁷ None can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him, ⁸ (For the redemption of their soul is costly, and must be given up for ever,) ⁹ That he should still live perpetually, [and] not see corruption.
