Psalms 49:16-20
16 Be not afraid when a man becomes rich,when the glory of his house increases.
17 a For when he dies he will b carry nothing away;
his glory will not go down after him.
18 For though, while he lives, he counts himself c blessed
—and though you get praise when you do well for yourself—
19 his soul will d go to the generation of his fathers,
who will never again e see light.
20 f Man in his pomp yet without understanding is like the beasts that perish.
