6 As for those men, who in their wealth And [worldly] treasure put their trust; And in their riches multitude, And great estates do [make their] boast.
7 None of them can his brother's life Redeem by any [means or] way; Nor can he for him unto God [Any] sufficient ransom pay.
8 To redeem life's impossible, And [therefore] it can never be,
9 That he should always live on earth, And not [common] corruption see.
10 For that both wise and fools do die, They [daily] see and must perceive; And worldly brutish men at death Their [loved] wealth to others leave.
