Psalms 49:17-20 New English Translation (NET)

17. For he will take nothing with him when he dies;his wealth will not follow him down into the grave.

18. He pronounces this blessing on himself while he is alive:“May men praise you, for you have done well!”

19. But he will join his ancestors;they will never again see the light of day.

20. Wealthy people do not understand;they are like animals that perish.
