Psalm 49:16-19
The Message

16-19 So don’t be impressed with those who get rich
    and pile up fame and fortune.
They can’t take it with them;

Just when they think they’ve arrived

    where they’ll never see sunshine again.

    their splendor will not descend with them.(B)
18 Though while they live they count themselves blessed—(C)
    and people praise you when you prosper—
