Have you become like us?
Ezekiel 32:21

21 (A)The strong among the mighty
Shall speak to him out of the midst of hell
With those who help him:
‘They have (B)gone down,
They lie with the uncircumcised, slain by the sword.’
Ecclesiastes 2:16
New King James Version
16 For there is (A)no more remembrance of the wise than of the fool forever,
Since all that now is will be forgotten in the days to come.
And how does a wise man die?
As the fool!
Psalm 82:6-7

And fall like one of the princes.”

Psalm 49:20
New King James Version
20 A man who is in honor, yet does not understand,
(A)Is like the beasts that perish.
Psalm 49:6-14
New King James Version
6 Those who (A)trust in their wealth
And boast in the multitude of their riches,
7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother,
Nor (B)give to God a ransom for him—
8 For (C)the redemption of their souls is costly,
And it shall cease forever—
9 That he should continue to live eternally,
And (D)not [a]see the Pit.
10 For he sees wise men die;
Likewise the fool and the senseless person perish,
And leave their wealth to others.
11 [b]Their inner thought is that their houses will last forever,
Their dwelling places to all generations;
They (E)call their lands after their own names.
12 Nevertheless man, though in honor, does not [c]remain;
He is like the beasts that perish.
13 This is the way of those who are (F)foolish,
And of their posterity who approve their sayings. Selah
14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave;
Death shall feed on them;
(G)The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning;
(H)And their beauty shall be consumed in [d]the grave, far from their dwelling.

Luke 16:20-23
New King James Version
20 But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate, 21 desiring to be fed with [a]the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to (A)Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
