Psalm 49:19

Verse 19 of 20. The 49th of 150 chapters in Psalms, in Poetry and Wisdom.

15But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me. Selah.

16Don’t be afraid when a man is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;

17for when he dies he will carry nothing away. His glory won’t descend after him.

18Though while he lived he blessed his soul— and men praise you when you do well for yourself—

19he shall go to the generation of his fathers. They shall never see the light.

20A man who has riches without understanding, is like the animals that perish.
