Psalm 49:7-9

Amplified Bible

⁷ 
None of them can by any means redeem [either himself or] his brother,
Nor give to God a ransom for him—
⁸ 
For the ransom of his soul is too costly,
And he should cease trying forever—
⁹ 
So that he should live on eternally,
That he should never see the pit (grave) and undergo decay.
