Psalm 49:16 Context

◄ Psalm 49:16 ►

Do not be amazed when a man grows rich, when the splendor of his house increases.

Context

16Do not be afraid when a man becomes rich,
When the glory of his house is increased;

17For when he dies he will carry nothing away;
His glory will not descend after him.

18Though while he lives he congratulates himself—
And though men praise you when you do well for yourself—

19He shall go to the generation of his fathers;
They will never see the light.

20Man in his pomp, yet without understanding,
Is like the beasts that perish.
