Psalms 49:10-19

Leeser(i) 10 (49:11) For he must see that wise men die, that together the fool and the brutish person perish and leave to others their wealth. 11 (49:12) Their inward thought is, that their houses are to be for ever, their dwelling-places, from generation to generation; they call them by their own names in various countries. 12 (49:13) Nevertheless man in his splendor endureth not: he is like the beasts that perish. 13 (49:14) This is their way, their folly: yet their posterity will take pleasure in their sayings. Selah. 14 (49:15) Like flocks are they thrust into the nether world; death will feed them; but the upright shall have dominion over them in that morning, and their form wasteth away in the nether world, taken away from their own dwelling. 15 (49:16) But God will redeem my soul from the power of the nether world; for he will take me away. Selah. 16 (49:17) Be not thou afraid when a man becometh rich, when the glory of his house is increased; 17 (49:18) For when he dieth he can take nothing away; his glory will not descend after him. 18 (49:19) For though he bless his soul during his life, and men praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself: 19 (49:20) She shall go to the generation of his fathers, unto eternity will these never see light.
