Psalms 49:10-17

¹⁰For he shall see it. Wise men die; The fool and the brutish alike perish, And leave their wealth to others.

¹¹Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, And their dwelling-places to all generations; They call their lands after their own names.

¹²But man being in honor abideth not: He is like the beasts that perish.

¹³This their way is their folly: Yet after them men approve their sayings. Selah

¹⁴They are appointed as a flock for Sheol; Death shall be their shepherd: And the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; And their beauty shall be for Sheol to consume, That there be no habitation for it.

¹⁵But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol; For he will receive me. Selah

¹⁶Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, When the glory of his house is increased:

¹⁷For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away; His glory shall not descend after him.
