Psalms 49:17-20

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:

¹⁹(49:20) She shall go to the generation of his fathers, unto eternity will these never see light.

²⁰(49:21) Man, though in splendor, who understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish. °
