5. Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when iniquity at my heels compasseth me about?
6. They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
7. None of them 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 let alone for ever:)
9. That he should still live alway, that he should not see corruption.
10. For he seeth that wise men die, the fool and the brutish together perish, and leave their wealth to others.
11. 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.
