14 Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol;
    Death shall be their shepherd;
straight to the grave they descend,[a]
    and their form shall waste away;
    Sheol shall be their home.[b]
15 But God will ransom my soul from the power of Sheol,
    for he will receive me.Selah

16 Be not afraid when one becomes rich,
    when the glory[c] of his house increases.
