Psalms 49:10-17

¹⁰For he seeth wise men die, Together the foolish and brutish perish, And have left to others their wealth.

¹¹Their heart is: Their houses are to the age, Their tabernacles to all generations. They proclaimed their names over the lands.

¹²And man in honour doth not remain, He hath been like the beasts, they have been cut off.

¹³This their way is folly for them, And their posterity with their sayings are pleased. Selah.

¹⁴As sheep for Sheol they have set themselves, Death doth afflict them, And the upright rule over them in the morning, And their form is for consumption. Sheol is a dwelling for him.

¹⁵Only, God doth ransom my soul from the hand of Sheol, For He doth receive me. Selah.

¹⁶Fear not, when one maketh wealth, When the honour of his house is abundant,

¹⁷For at his death he receiveth nothing, His honour goeth not down after him.
