Psalm 49:12-14
GOD’S WORD Translation
12 But mortals will not continue here with what they treasure.
They are like animals that die.
13 This is the final outcome for fools and their followers
who are delighted by what they say: Selah
14 Like sheep, they are driven to hell
with death as their shepherd.
(Decent people will rule them in the morning.)
Their forms will decay in the grave,
far away from their comfortable homes.
Psalm 49:12-14
New International Version
13 This is the fate of those who trust in themselves,(C)
and of their followers, who approve their sayings.[a]
14 They are like sheep and are destined(D) to die;(E)
death will be their shepherd
(but the upright will prevail(F) over them in the morning).
Their forms will decay in the grave,
far from their princely mansions.
