(2) verse 6 Those men that make their great estates their stay to trust unto; Who in the plenty of their wealth themselves do boast also. verse 7 There's not a man of them that can by any means redeem His brother, nor to God can give a ransom meet for him.
verse 8 So dear their souls redemption is, and ever ceaseth it. verse 9 That he should still for ever live, and never see the pit. verse 10 For he doth see that wise men die, the fool and brutish too Do perish, and their rich estate to others leave they do.

verse 11 They think their houses are for aye, to generations all Their dwelling places; and their lands they by their names do call verse 12 But man in honour being set abideth not a night: But he becometh like unto the beasts that perish quite.
