Psalms 49:5-13
Why should I fear in times of trouble? The iniquity of my foes surrounds me.They trust in their wealth and boast of their abundant riches.Yet these cannot redeem a person or pay his ransom to God—since the price of redeeming him is too costly, one should forever stop trying—so that he may live forever and not see the Pit.For one can see that wise men die; foolish and stupid men also pass away. Then they leave their wealth to others.Their graves are their eternal homes, their homes from generation to generation, though they have named estates after themselves.But despite his assets, man will not last; he is like the animals that perish.This is the way of those who are arrogant, and of their followers, who approve of their words. Selah
