Psalm 49:9

Misplaced Trust In Wealth

⁸ For the redemption of his soul is costly,
And he should cease trying forever—
⁹ That he should live on eternally,
That he should not undergo decay.
¹⁰ For he sees that even wise men die;
The stupid and the senseless alike perish
And leave their wealth to others.
