New Testament

Psalms 49:7-13 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

7. No one can buy back the life of another person.No one can pay God for his own life.

8. The price of a life is high.No payment is ever enough.

9. Do people live forever?Don’t they all face death?

10. See, even wise men die.Fools and stupid people also die.They leave their wealth to others.

11. Their graves will always be their homes.They will live there from now on,even though they named places after themselves.

12. Even rich people do not live forever.Like the animals, people die.

13. This is what will happen to people who trust in themselves.And this will happen to their followers who believe them. Selah
