American Standard Version

Psalm 49:16-20 American Standard Version (ASV)

16. Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, When the glory of his house is increased.

17. For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away; His glory shall not descend after him.

18. Though while he lived he blessed his soul (And men praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself,)

19. He shall go to the generation of his fathers; They shall never see the light.

20. Man that is in honor, and understandeth not, Is like the beasts that perish.
