16. So don’t be dismayed when the wicked grow richand their homes become ever more splendid.
17. For when they die, they take nothing with them.Their wealth will not follow them into the grave.
18. In this life they consider themselves fortunateand are applauded for their success.
19. But they will die like all before themand never again see the light of day.
20. People who boast of their wealth don’t understand;they will die, just like animals.
