Psalm 49:7-9

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁷ None of them can by any means redeem [either himself or] his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him—

⁸ For the ransom of a life is too costly, and [the price one can pay] can never suffice—

⁹ So that he should live on forever and never see the pit (the grave) and corruption.
