Psalm 49:14-20
New King James Version
14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave;
Death shall feed on them;
(A)The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning;
(B)And their beauty shall be consumed in [a]the grave, far from their dwelling.
15 But God (C)will redeem my soul from the power of [b]the grave,
For He shall (D)receive me. Selah
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 (E)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 (F)light.[c]
20 A man who is in honor, yet does not understand,
(G)Is like the beasts that perish.

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.
