Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ ^(49:6) Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my oppressors encompasseth me?— ⁶ ^(49:7) Of those that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves of the multitude of their riches? ⁷ ^(49:8) No one can in any wise redeem his brother, nor can he give to God redemption money for himself; ⁸ ^(49:9) For the ransom of their soul is too costly, and it is omitted for ever. ⁹ ^(49:10) And should he still live for ever? not see the pit? ¹⁰ ^(49:11) For he must see that wise men die, that together the fool and the brutish person perish and leave to others their wealth. ¹¹ ^(49:12) Their inward thought is, that their houses are to be for ever, their dwelling-places, from generation to generation; they call them by their own names in various countries. ¹² ^(49:13) Nevertheless man in his splendor endureth not: he is like the beasts that perish. ¹³ ^(49:14) This is their way, their folly: yet their posterity will take pleasure in their sayings. Selah.
