God’s Word Translation
Psalms 49:14-20
14Like sheep, they are driven to hell with death as their shepherd. (Decent people will rule them in the morning.) Their forms will decay in the grave, far away from their comfortable homes.
15But God will buy me back from the power of hell because he will take me. Selah
16Do not be afraid when someone becomes rich, when the greatness of his house increases.
17He will not take anything with him when he dies. His greatness cannot follow him.
18Even though he blesses himself while he is alive (and they praise you when you do well for yourself),
19he must join the generation of his ancestors, who will never see light ⌞again⌟.
20Mortals, with what they treasure, still don’t have understanding. They are like animals that die.
