Psalm 49:6-10
New King James Version
6 Those who (A)trust in their wealth
And boast in the multitude of their riches,

Nor (B)give to God a ransom for him—
8 For (C)the redemption of their souls is costly,
And it shall cease forever—
9 That he should continue to live eternally,
And (D)not [a]see the Pit.

Likewise the fool and the senseless person perish,
And leave their wealth to others.
