8Truly, no man may get back his soul for a price, or give to God the payment for himself;
9(Because it takes a great price to keep his soul from death, and man is not able to give it.)
10So that he might have eternal life, and never see the underworld.
11For he sees that wise men come to their end, and foolish persons of low behaviour come to destruction together, letting their wealth go to others.
12The place of the dead is their house for ever, and their resting-place through all generations; those who come after them give their names to their lands.
13But man, like the animals, does not go on for ever; he comes to an end like the beasts.
14This is the way of the foolish; their silver is for those who come after them, and their children get the pleasure of their gold. (Selah.)
