NET Bible
"Certainly a man cannot rescue his brother; he cannot pay God an adequate ransom price"
— Psalms 49:7, NET Bible
“None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:”
“None of them can by any means redeem his brother, Nor give to God a ransom for him ”
“none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give God a ransom for him.”
“Hear, O my people, and I will speak: O Israel, and I will testify to thee: I am God, thy God.”
“Truly, no man may get back his soul for a price, or give to God the payment for himself;”
“None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:”
I will learn a song that imparts wisdom; I will then sing my insightful song to the accompaniment of a harp.
Why should I be afraid in times of trouble, when the sinful deeds of deceptive men threaten to overwhelm me?
They trust in their wealth and boast in their great riches.
Certainly a man cannot rescue his brother; he cannot pay God an adequate ransom price
(the ransom price for a human life is too high, and people go to their final destiny),
so that he might continue to live forever and not experience death.
Surely one sees that even wise people die; fools and spiritually insensitive people all pass away and leave their wealth to others.
