Psalms 49:17–20 · Berean Standard Bible

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.
