Psalm 49



<< Psalm 49 >>
GOD'S WORD ® Translation
 

16Do not be afraid when someone becomes rich, when the greatness of his house increases.

17He will not take anything with him when he dies. His greatness cannot follow him.

18Even though he blesses himself while he is alive (and they praise you when you do well for yourself),

19he must join the generation of his ancestors, who will never see light [again].

20Mortals, with what they treasure, still don't have understanding. They are like animals that die.
