Psalms 49:10-17 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

10. See, even wise men die.Fools and stupid people also die.They leave their wealth to others.

11. Their graves will always be their homes.They will live there from now on,even though they named places after themselves.

12. Even rich people do not live forever.Like the animals, people die.

13. This is what will happen to people who trust in themselves.And this will happen to their followers who believe them. Selah

14. Like sheep, they must die.And death will be their shepherd.Honest people will rule over them in the morning.Their bodies will rot in a grave far from home.

15. But God will save my life.He will take me from the grave. Selah

16. Don’t be afraid of a rich manbecause his house is more beautiful.

17. He won’t take anything to the grave.His wealth won’t die with him.
