Psalms 49:16-20
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 49
16Do not be afraid when a person becomes rich, When the splendor of his house is increased; 17For when he dies, he will take nothing with him; His wealth will not descend after him. 18Though while he lives he congratulates himself— And though 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. 20Mankind in its splendor, yet without understanding, Is like the animals that perish.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 49
16Do not be afraid when a person gets rich, when the wealth of his house increases. 17For when he dies, he will take nothing at all; his wealth will not follow him down. 18Though he blesses himself during his lifetime— and you are acclaimed when you do well for yourself — 19he will go to the generation of his fathers; they will never see the light. 20Mankind, with his assets but without understanding, is like the animals that perish.New Living Translation
Chapter 49
16So don’t be dismayed when the wicked grow rich and their homes become ever more splendid. 17For when they die, they take nothing with them. Their wealth will not follow them into the grave. 18In this life they consider themselves fortunate and are applauded for their success. 19But they will die like all before them and never again see the light of day. 20People who boast of their wealth don’t understand; they will die, just like animals.English Standard Version
Chapter 49
16Be not afraid when a man becomes rich, when the glory of his house increases. 17 For when he dies he will carry nothing away; his glory will not go down after him. 18For though, while he lives, he counts himself blessed — and though you get praise when you do well for yourself — 19his soul will go to the generation of his fathers, who will never again see light. 20 Man in his pomp yet without understanding is like the beasts that perish.New International Version
New King James Version
