Selected verse

I will incline my ear to a proverb.

I will solve my riddle on the harp.

5

Why should I fear in the days of evil,

when iniquity at my heels surrounds me?

Those who trust in their wealth,

and boast in the multitude of their riches—

7

none of them can by any means redeem his brother,

nor give God a ransom for him.
