Context of Psalms 49:15
13This their way is their folly, yet they that come after them delight in their sayings. Selah. 14Like sheep are they laid in Sheol: Death feedeth on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their comeliness shall be for Sheol to consume, that there be no habitation for them. But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol: for he will receive me. Selah. 16Be not afraid when a man becometh 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.
