Psalms 49:16-20 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

16. Do not be afraid when a man gets rich,when the wealth of his house increases.

17. For when he dies, he will take nothing at all;his wealth will not follow him down.

18. Though he praises himself during his lifetime —and people praise you when you do well for yourself —

19. he will go to the generation of his fathers;they will never see the light.

20. A man with valuable possessions but without understandingis like the animals that perish.
