Psalm 49:9

Misplaced Trust In Wealth

⁸
For the ransom of his soul is too costly,
And he should cease trying forever—
⁹ 
So that he should live on eternally,
That he should never see the pit (grave) and undergo decay. ¹⁰
For he sees that even wise men die;
The fool and the stupid alike perish
And leave their wealth to others.
