Psalms 49:16-18 in English

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

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

¹⁸ Though while he lived he blessed his soul (And men praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself),

¹⁶ But to the sinner God has said, Why dost thou declare my ordinances, and take up my covenant in thy mouth?

¹⁷ Whereas thou hast hated instruction, and hast cast my words behind thee.

¹⁸ If thou sawest a thief, thou rannest along with him, and hast cast in thy lot with adulterers.

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

¹⁷ For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.

¹⁸ Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.

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

¹⁷ For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.

¹⁸ Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.

¹⁶ But to the sinner God has said, Why do you declare my ordinances, and take up my covenant in your mouth?

¹⁷ Whereas you have hated instruction, and have cast my words behind you.

¹⁸ If you saw a thief, you ran along with him, and have cast in your lot with adulterers.

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

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

¹⁸ Though while he lived he blessed his soul, and men praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself,

¹⁶ So, do not be dismayed when someone becomes rich and the houses where they live become more and more luxurious,

¹⁷ because when he dies, he will take nothing with him; his wealth will not go with him.

¹⁸ While a rich person is alive, he congratulates himself, and people praise him for being successful,

¹⁶ But to the sinner God has said, Why do you declare my ordinances, and take up my covenant in your mouth?

¹⁷ Whereas you have hated instruction, and have cast my words behind you.

¹⁸ If you saw a thief, you ran along with him, and have cast in your lot with adulterers.

¹⁶ Don’t be afraid when a man is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;

¹⁷ for when he dies he will carry nothing away. His glory won’t descend after him.

¹⁸ Though while he lived he blessed his soul— and men praise you when you do well for yourself—

¹⁶ Don’t be afraid when a man is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;

¹⁷ for when he dies he will carry nothing away. His glory won’t descend after him.

¹⁸ Though while he lived he blessed his soul— and men praise you when you do well for yourself—

¹⁶ Don’t be afraid when a man is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;

¹⁷ for when he dies he will carry nothing away. His glory won’t descend after him.

¹⁸ Though while he lived he blessed his soul— and men praise you when you do well for yourself—

¹⁶ Have no fear when wealth comes to a man, and the glory of his house is increased;

¹⁷ For at his death, he will take nothing away; his glory will not go down after him.

¹⁸ Though he might have pride in his soul in his life-time, and men will give you praise if you do well for yourself,

¹⁶ Be not afraid when a man becometh rich, when the glory of his house is increased:

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

¹⁸ Though he blessed his soul in his lifetime, — and men will praise thee when thou doest well to thyself, —

¹⁶ But to the sinner God hath said: Why dost thou declare my justices, and take my covenant in thy mouth?

¹⁷ Seeing thou hast hated discipline: and hast cast my words behind thee.

¹⁸ If thou didst see a thief thou didst run with him: and with adulterers thou hast been a partaker.

¹⁶ Don't be disturbed when people become rich, filling their houses with possessions.

¹⁷ For they won't take anything with them when they die; their wealth will not go down into the grave with them.

¹⁸ They congratulate themselves for all they possess—people always praise you when you do well—

¹⁶ Be not thou afrayd when one is made rich, and when the glory of his house is increased.

¹⁷ For he shall take nothing away when he dieth, neither shall his pompe descende after him.

¹⁸ For while he liued, he reioyced himselfe: and men will prayse thee, when thou makest much of thy selfe.

¹⁶ (49-17) Be not thou afraid when one waxeth rich, when the wealth of his house is increased;

¹⁷ (49-18) For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away; his wealth shall not descend after him.

¹⁸ (49-19) Though while he lived he blessed his soul: 'Men will praise thee, when thou shalt do well to thyself';

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

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

¹⁸ Though whiles he lived he blessed his soul: And men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.

¹⁶ (49:17) Be not thou afraid when a man becometh rich, when the glory of his house is increased;

¹⁷ (49:18) For when he dieth he can take nothing away; his glory will not descend after him.

¹⁸ (49:19) For though he bless his soul during his life, and men praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself:

¹⁶ But to the sinner God has said, Why dost thou declare my ordinances, And take up my covenant in thy mouth?

¹⁷ Whereas thou hast hated instruction, And hast cast my words behind thee.

¹⁸ If thou sawest a thief, thou rannest along with him, And hast cast in thy lot with adulterers.

¹⁶ Be not thou afraid, when one becometh rich; When the glory of his house is increased!

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

¹⁸ Though in his life he thought himself happy,—Though men praised thee, while thou wast in prosperity,—

¹⁶ So be not afraid when someone grows rich, when the wealth of their house increases.

¹⁷ Not a shred of it all can they take when they die, wealth cannot follow them down.

¹⁸ Though they count themselves happy, when they are alive, and win praise from many for faring so well,

¹⁷ for when he dies he will carry nothing away. His glory won’t descend after him.

¹⁶ Dread thou not, when a man is made rich; and when the glory of his house is multiplied.

¹⁷ For when he shall die, he shall not take all things with him; and his glory shall not go down with him.

¹⁸ For his soul shall be blessed in his life; he shall acknowledge to thee, when thou hast done well to him.

¹⁶ Dread thou not (or Fear thou not), when a man is made rich; and when the glory of his house is multiplied.

¹⁷ For when he shall die, he shall not take all things with him (or he shall not take anything with him); and his glory shall not go down with him.

¹⁸ For his soul shall be blessed in his life; he shall acknowledge to thee, when thou hast done well to him. (Even though his soul shall be blessed in this life; and people shall praise him, when he hath done well for himself.)

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

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

¹⁸ For his soul in his life he blesseth, (And they praise thee when thou dost well for thyself.)
