¹³ This is the fate of those who trust in themselves,^(A)
    and of their followers, who approve their sayings.^[a]
14 They are like sheep and are destined^(B) to die;^(C)
    death will be their shepherd
    (but the upright will prevail^(D) over them in the morning).
Their forms will decay in the grave,
    far from their princely mansions.
¹⁵ But God will redeem me from the realm of the dead;^(E)
    he will surely take me to himself.^(F)
16 Do not be overawed when others grow rich,
    when the splendor of their houses increases;
¹⁷ for they will take nothing^(G) with them when they die,
    their splendor will not descend with them.^(H)
18 Though while they live they count themselves blessed—^(I)
    and people praise you when you prosper—
¹⁹ they will join those who have gone before them,^(J)
    who will never again see the light^(K) of life.

²⁰ People who have wealth but lack understanding^(L)
    are like the beasts that perish.^(M)
