Psalms 49:8-11 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

8. (since the redemption price for their life is costly and it always fails),

9. so that he may stay alive forever and not see the pit.

10. For he sees that the wise die, together with the fool and brute they perish, and leave their wealth to the next generation.

11. Within them they think their houses are forever, their dwelling places from generation to generation. They name their lands by their own names.
