Psalms 49:16
King James VersionSource notes
“Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;”
Context
13This their way their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.
14Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.
15But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.
16Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
17For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.
18Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.
19He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.
