Amplified Bible
Psalms 49:14-20
14Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead); Death will be their shepherd; And the upright shall rule over them in the morning, And their form and beauty shall be for Sheol to consume, So that they have no dwelling [on earth].
15But God will redeem my life from the power of Sheol, For He will receive me. Selah.
16Be not afraid when [an ungodly] man becomes rich, When the wealth and glory of his house are increased;
17For when he dies he will carry nothing away; His glory will not descend after him.
18Though while he lives he counts himself happy and prosperous— And though people praise you when you do well for yourself—
19He shall go to the generation of his fathers; They shall never again see the light.
20A man [who is held] in honor, Yet who lacks [spiritual] understanding and a teachable heart, is like the beasts that perish.
