Psalm 49:17-19
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
17 For when they die they will carry nothing away;
their wealth will not go down after them.
18 Though in their lifetime they count themselves happy
—for you are praised when you do well for yourself—
19 they[a] will go to the company of their ancestors,
who will never again see the light.
