Context of Psalms 49:15
13This their way is their folly: yet after them men approve their sayings. Selah 14They are appointed as a flock for Sheol; death shall be their shepherd: and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall be for Sheol to consume, that there be no habitation for it. But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol: for he shall receive me. Selah 16Be not thou afraid when one is made 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.
