Psalms 49:11-17

11Their agraves are their homes forever,
Septuagint, Syriac, Targum; Hebrew  Their inward thought was that their homes were forever

their dwelling places cto all generations,
though they dcalled lands by their own names.
12Man in his pomp ewill not remain;
fhe is like the beasts that perish.
13 This is the path of those who have gfoolish confidence;
yet after them people approve of their boasts.
Or and of those after them who approve of their boasts
 Selah
14Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol;
death shall be their shepherd,
and the upright ishall rule over them in the morning.
jTheir form shall be consumed kin Sheol, with no place to dwell.
15But God will lransom my soul from the power of Sheol,
for he will mreceive me.  Selah
16 Be not afraid when a man becomes rich,
when the glory of his house increases.
17 nFor when he dies he will ocarry nothing away;
his glory will not go down after him.

Matthew 6:19
