Psalm 49:16-18

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁶ Do not be afraid when some become rich,
    when the wealth of their houses increases.^(A)
17 For when they die they will carry nothing away;
    their wealth will not go down after them.^(B)
18 Though in their lifetime they count themselves happy
    —for you are praised when you do well for yourself—^(C)
