6 Los que confían en sus haciendas, y en la muchedumbre de sus riquezas se jactan,

7 Ninguno de [ellos] podrá en manera alguna redimir al hermano, ni dar á Dios su rescate.

8 (Porque la redención de su vida es de gran precio, y no se hará jamás;)

9 Que viva adelante para siempre, y nunca vea la sepultura.

10 Pues se ve que mueren los sabios, así como el insensato y el necio perecen, y dejan á otros sus riquezas.
