5Why should I fear in days of evil, when iniquity at my heels surrounds me?

6those who trust in their wealth and boast in the abundance of their riches—

7Surely no man can redeem a brother, or give to God his ransom—

8For the ransom of their lives is costly—one must give up forever.

9that he should still live on forever and not see the Pit.
