Psalms 49:10-19

10 For he sees ^athat even the wise die;
^bthe fool and the stupid alike must perish
and ^cleave their wealth to others.
11 Their ^dgraves are their homes forever, ^{▼▼Septuagint, Syriac, Targum; Hebrew Their inward thought was that their homes were forever}

15 But God will ^oransom my soul from the power of Sheol,
for he will ^preceive me. Selah

when the glory of his house increases.
17 ^qFor when he dies he will ^rcarry nothing away;

18 For though, while he lives, he counts himself ^sblessed
—and though you get praise when you do well for yourself—
19 his soul will ^tgo to the generation of his fathers,
who will never again ^usee light.

Matthew 17:26
