This is the way of those who are foolish, And of their posterity who approve their sayings. Selah
14
Like sheep they are laid in the grave; Death shall feed on them; The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; And their beauty shall be consumed in the grave, far from their dwelling.
15
But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave, For He shall 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 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 light.
20
A man who is in honor, yet does not understand, Is like the beasts that perish.
