Psalms 49:8 - Compare All Versions

the ransom for a life is costly, no payment is ever enough

for the ransom of their life is costly and can never suffice

Redemption does not come so easily, for no one can ever pay enough

since the price of redeeming him is too costly, one should forever stop trying  ,  

(For the redemption of their soul is precious, And it ceaseth for ever:)

For the redemption of their souls is costly, And it shall cease forever

Really! There’s no such thing as self-rescue, pulling yourself up by your bootstraps. The cost of rescue is beyond our means, and even then it doesn’t guarantee Life forever, or insurance against the Black Hole.

For the redemption of his soul is priceless, And he should cease imagining forever

For the ransom of his soul is too costly, And he should cease trying forever

(the ransom price for a human life is too high, and people go to their final destiny)
