Psalm 49:16-20

¹⁶Do not be amazed when a man grows rich,

when the splendor of his house increases.

¹⁷For when he dies, he will carry nothing away;

his abundance will not follow him down.

¹⁸Though in his lifetime he blesses his soul —

and men praise you when you prosper—

¹⁹he will join the generation of his fathers,

who will never see the light of day.

²⁰A man who has riches without understanding

is like the beasts that perish.
