In context

⁷No man can possibly redeem his brother or pay his ransom to God.

⁸For the redemption of his soul is costly, and never can payment suffice,

⁹That he should live on forever and not see decay.

¹⁰For it is clear that wise men die, and the foolish and the senseless both perish and leave their wealth to others.

¹¹Their graves are their eternal homes— their dwellings for endless generations— even though their lands were their namesakes.
