Psalms 49:16-20

16Do not be afraid 1when a man becomes rich, When the 2glory of his house is increased;17For when he dies he will 3carry nothing away; His 4glory will not descend after him.18Though while he lives he 5congratulates 6himself-- And though men praise you when you do well for yourself--197He shall 8go to the generation of his fathers; They will never see 9the light.2010Man in his 11pomp, yet without understanding, Is 12like the 13beasts that 14perish.
