Psalm 49
16 Do not be afraid when a man grows rich, when the splendor of his house increases.
17 For when he dies, he will carry nothing away; his abundance will not follow him down.
18 Though in his lifetime he blesses his soul—and men praise you when you prosper—
19 he will join the generation of his fathers, who will never see the light of day.
20 A man who has riches without understanding is like the beasts that perish.
