15. Like a herd of sheep they will be put into Sheol,and Death will shepherd them.Straight to the grave they descend,where their form will waste away,Sheol will be their palace.
16. But God will redeem my life,will take me from the hand of Sheol.Selah
17. Do not fear when a man becomes rich,when the wealth of his house grows great.
18. At his death he will not take along anything,his glory will not go down after him.
19. During his life his soul uttered blessings;“They will praise you, for you do well for yourself.”
20. But he will join the company of his fathers,never again to see the light.
21. In his prime, man does not understand.He is like the beasts—they perish.
