Psalm 49:16-20
Why Should I Fear in Times of Trouble?
16
Do not be afraid when one becomes rich,
When the glory of his house is increased;
17
For when he dies he shall carry nothing away;
His glory shall not descend after him.
18
Though while he lives k he blesses himself
(For men will praise you when you do well for yourself),
19
He shall go to the generation of his fathers;
They shall never see l light. 1
20
A man who is in honor, yet does not understand,
m Is like the beasts that perish.
