5 I will put my teaching into a story; I will make my dark sayings clear with music.
6 What cause have I for fear in the days of evil, when the evil-doing of those who are working for my downfall is round about me?
7 Even of those whose faith is in their wealth, and whose hearts are lifted up because of their stores.
8 Truly, 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.)
10 So that he might have eternal life, and never see the underworld.
11 For 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.
