Job 36:18-19

and let not the greatness of athe ransom turn you aside.

or all the force of your strength?

8for gthe ransom of their life is costly
and can never suffice,

Zephaniah 1:18

18 mNeither their silver nor their gold
shall be able to deliver them
on the day of the wrath of the Lord.

oall the earth shall be consumed;
pfor a full and sudden end
he will make of all the inhabitants of the earth.
