10. Look, the wise die the same as fools and stupid people. They die and leave their wealth to others.
11. The grave will be their new home forever. And how much land they owned will not make any difference.
12. People might be wealthy, but they cannot stay here forever. They will die like the animals.
13. That is what happens to all who trust in themselves and to anyone who accepts their way of life. Selah
14. They are just like sheep, but the grave will be their pen. Death will be their shepherd. When morning comes, the good people will enjoy victory, as the bodies of the proud slowly rot in the grave, far away from their fancy houses.
15. But God will pay the price to save me from the grave. He will take me to be with him. Selah
16. Don’t be afraid of people just because they are rich. Don’t be afraid of people just because they have big, fancy houses.
17. They will not take anything with them when they die. They will not take their wealth with them.
