Psalms 49:14-20 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

14. Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.

15. But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.

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

17. For when he dies he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.

18. Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise you, when you do well for yourself.

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

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