Psalms 49:8 in Context — Psalms 49

6 Eles confiam em seus bens, e se orgulham da abundância de suas riquezas.

7 Mas ninguém pode livrar o seu irmão, nem pagar a Deus o seu resgate,

8 porque a redenção da sua alma é caríssima, e sempre será insuficiente

9 para viver eternamente, e jamais ver a cova.

10 Pois se vê que os sábios morrem, que o tolo e o bruto igualmente perecem; e deixam suas riquezas a outros.
