JPS_ASV_Byz(i)
5 (49:6) Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my supplanters compasseth me about,
6 (49:7) Of them that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches?
7 (49:8) No man can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him -
8 (49:9) For too costly is the redemption of their soul, and must be let alone for ever -
9 (49:10) That he should still live alway, that he should not see the pit.
10 (49:11) For he seeth that wise men die, the fool and the brutish together perish, and leave their wealth to others.
11 (49:12) Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling-places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.
12 (49:13) But man abideth not in honour; he is like the beasts that perish.
13 (49:14) This is the way of them that are foolish, and of those who after them approve their sayings. Selah
