Psalm 49:12-14

Common English Bible

¹² People won’t live any longer because of wealth;
    they’re just like the animals that pass away.

¹³ That’s how it goes for those who are foolish,
    as well as for those who follow their lead, pleased with their talk.
    Selah
¹⁴ Like sheep, they’re headed straight for the grave.^[a]
    Death will be their shepherd—
    but those who do right in their hearts will rule over them come morning!—
    their forms wasting away in the grave
    rather than having some dignified residence.^[b]
