Psalm 49:17-19

New International Reader's Version

¹⁷ They won’t take anything with them when they die.
    Their riches won’t go down to the grave with them.
¹⁸ While they lived, they believed they were blessed.
    People praised them when things were going well for them.
¹⁹ But they will die, like their people of long ago.
    They will never again see the light of life.
