7 No one can ·buy back [ransom; redeem] the life of ·another [or a brother].
    No one can ·pay [L give a ransom to] God for his own life,
8 because the ·price [ransom; redemption] of a life is ·high [precious].
    No payment is ever enough.
9 Do people live forever?
    Don’t they all ·face death [L see the Pit; 16:10]?
