14. Like sheep they are headed for Sheol;Death will shepherd them.The upright will rule over them in the morning, and their form will waste away in Sheol, far from their lofty abode.
15. But God will redeem my lifefrom the power of Sheol,for He will take me. Selah
16. Do not be afraid when a man gets rich,when the wealth of his house increases.
17. For when he dies, he will take nothing at all;his wealth will not follow him down.
18. Though he praises himself during his lifetime —and people praise you when you do well for yourself —
19. he will go to the generation of his fathers;they will never see the light.
20. A man with valuable possessions but without understandingis like the animals that perish.
