Psalms 49:14-20

JPS_ASV_Byz(i) 14 (49:15) Like sheep they are appointed for the nether-world; death shall be their shepherd; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their form shall be for the nether-world to wear away, that there be no habitation for it. 15 (49:16) But God will redeem my soul from the power of the nether-world; for He shall receive me. Selah 16 (49:17) Be not thou afraid when one waxeth rich, when the wealth of his house is increased; 17 (49:18) For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away; his wealth shall not descend after him. 18 (49:19) Though while he lived he blessed his soul: 'Men will praise thee, when thou shalt do well to thyself'; 19 (49:20) It shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see the light. 20 (49:21) Man that is in honour understandeth not; he is like the beasts that perish.
