Psalms 49:14-20

14Like sheep, they are led to the grave, where death will be their shepherd. In the morning the godly will rule over them. Their bodies will rot in the grave, far from their grand estates.

15But as for me, God will redeem my life. He will snatch me from the power of the grave. Interlude

16So don’t be dismayed when the wicked grow rich and their homes become ever more splendid.

17For when they die, they take nothing with them. Their wealth will not follow them into the grave.

18In this life they consider themselves fortunate and are applauded for their success.

19But they will die like all before them and never again see the light of day.

20People who boast of their wealth don’t understand; they will die, just like animals.
