15 Like sheep they are destined for Sheol. Death will be their shepherd and the upright will rule over them in the morning. Their image will decay in Sheol— far from its lofty place.
16 But God redeems my soul from the power of Sheol— for He receives me. Selah
17 Do not be afraid when a man gets rich, when his house’s splendor increases.
18 For when he dies he takes nothing away. His splendor will not follow him down.
19 Though during his life he congratulates himself, and men praise you when you do well for yourself—
20 He will still join his fathers’ company, who will never see the light.
21 A pompous man, without understanding— he is like the beasts that perish.
