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.
18. A wealthy man might tell himself how well he has done in life. And other people might praise him.
19. But the time will come for him to die and go to his ancestors. And he will never again see the light of day.
