Psalm 49:14-20

New International Version

¹⁴ They are like sheep and are destined^(A) to die;^(B)
    death will be their shepherd
    (but the upright will prevail^(C) over them in the morning).
Their forms will decay in the grave,
    far from their princely mansions.
¹⁵ But God will redeem me from the realm of the dead;^(D)
    he will surely take me to himself.^(E)
16 Do not be overawed when others grow rich,
    when the splendor of their houses increases;
¹⁷ for they will take nothing^(F) with them when they die,
    their splendor will not descend with them.^(G)
18 Though while they live they count themselves blessed—^(H)
    and people praise you when you prosper—
¹⁹ they will join those who have gone before them,^(I)
    who will never again see the light^(J) of life.

²⁰ People who have wealth but lack understanding^(K)
    are like the beasts that perish.^(L)
