English Standard Version
Psalms 49:14-20
14Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol; death shall be their shepherd, and the upright shall rule over them in the morning. Their form shall be consumed in Sheol, with no place to dwell.
15But God will ransom my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me. Selah
16Be not afraid when a man becomes rich, when the glory of his house increases.
17For when he dies he will carry nothing away; his glory will not go down after him.
18For though, while he lives, he counts himself blessed —and though you get praise when you do well for yourself—
19his soul will go to the generation of his fathers, who will never again see light.
20Man in his pomp yet without understanding is like the beasts that perish.
