Psalm 49: 6 - 9 says: “Those who are trusting in their means of maintenance, and who keep boasting about the abundance of their riches, not one of them can by any means redeem even a brother, nor give to God a ransom for him; (and the redemption price of their soul is so precious that it has ceased to time indefinite) that he should still live forever and not see the pit. ”
Laul 49: 7 — 10 ütleb: „Kes loodavad oma varanduse peale ja kiitlevad oma suurest rikkusest? Ükski ei või venna eest anda luna ega tema eest maksta Jumalale lunastushinda, sest nende hinge luna on liiga kallis ja peab jääma igavesti tasumata selleks, et keegi jääks elama lõppemata ega näeks hauda! ”
